The Health Boost Tip

Apricots are a good source of both vitamin A (from beta-carotene) and vitamin C. Apricots are rich in other antioxidants, too, including flavonoids. Diets rich in flavonoids and the other types of polyphenols found in apricots have been linked to reductions in heart disease in humans, as well as other potential health benefits.
