Sun-dried apricots

Dried apricots are delicious, pleasantly tangy, and tasty, and they are one of the oldest snacks that grandmothers used to keep us busy so we would sit still for a couple of minutes! Dried apricots, also known as apricot sheets, are a nutritious snack that we can take with us to work, school, or university and enjoy during breaks. Dried apricots are also widely used in Yalda Night nut mixes—on their own or together with walnuts, dried figs, dried mulberries, and more. Since their color is also one of the colors of the sun, using them on Yalda Night (the night of waiting for darkness to pass and the sun to be born) is very fitting. Just when we start to enjoy fresh apricots, their season is over! But dried apricots are always with us.
