Dried apricots are one of nature’s great health food. They are an excellent source of betacarotene and a good source of iron and potassium and the drying process increases their concentration. It is best to choose semi-dried apricots as they are nice and soft, but make sure they have not been treated with sulphur dioxide (E220) before drying to preserve the bright orange colour and to prevent fungal growth. This substance can trigger an asthma attack in susceptible babies. 'Read about my 'Make Your Own' equipment and food range.
