Apricot has such a bright red color due to its abundance of carotenoids. They improve the condition of the skin, eyesight, and also protect cells from aging. There is a lot of potassium in apricots. Only 100 grams of dried fruit covers 70% of the daily requirement for this trace element. Both the pulp and the kernel of apricot have powerful antioxidant effects. Eating this fruit will help reduce the damaging effects of aggressive free radicals on cells.
