Apricot

Our customers use apricots because they provide natural sweetness, vibrant color, and functional versatility in a wide range of products. Apricots are commonly used in baked goods, snacks, confectionery, and dairy products. Their naturally high sugar content allows manufacturers to enhance flavor while reducing the need for added sugars, and their soft texture makes them effective as a binding or filling ingredient. Apricots are also rich in nutrients like beta-carotene and fiber, which supports health-focused marketing claims. Additionally, their bright orange color improves the visual appeal of products, while their availability in shelf-stable forms makes them practical for large-scale production and long-term storage.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.

About Apricot – Best Apricot Juice, Concentrate and Puree

A Golden Legacy

Apricots are small, orange-colored stone fruits that belong to the same family as peaches and plums. They have a soft, velvety skin and a sweet, slightly tart flavor, with a single pit at the center. Originally cultivated in regions of Central Asia and China, apricots are now grown in many temperate climates around the world. They are typically harvested in the summer and are highly perishable when fresh, which is why they are often dried to extend their shelf life. Dried versions are especially popular and have a more concentrated sweetness and chewy texture compared to the fresh fruit.
