How to choose good apricots

Apricots are available mostly in summer. In the winter, they are imported from other countries. When you are at the supermarket, buying apricots, make sure that you look for fruits that have a rich, orange colouring. Avoid the ones that look pale or look like they are not going to ripe. Do not buy ones that are too hard or too soft. If they are too hard, it means that they have not been ripened naturally, but have been ripened using fertilizers.
