Terrasoul Superfoods Organic Apricots, 2 Lbs, Unsulphured, No-Added Sugar, Sweet and Tangy Delights for Snacking, Baking, and Vibrant Trail Mixes

A picture of the product provided before I ordered showed the darker color or I likely would not have taken the first bite. They are amazingly different in texture & taste still familiar enough for my brain to identify them as dried apricots without the sulfur. This motivated an internet search into the various visual enhancements our fruits go through in order to be appealing to customers….( I had to stop at spray painted citrus).Will definitely buy again!

Short Review :I love Terrasoul products. Highly recommend.Long Review :I'm a fan of Terrasoul products (and I've tried many). At first, this particular 907g/2 lb. bag of sun-dried apricots seemed flawed.I know not to compare organic, unsulphured, unsweetened, no-color-added dried apricots to commercial. Commercial apricots are bright orange because of added dyes, chemicals (namely sulfur dioxide), added sugar, oils, etc.Organic dried fruit (like organic fresh fruit) may not be as aesthetically pleasing as conventionally grown and processed fruit, but many of us prefer organic; sans chemicals and dyes (or pesticides or preservatives). When dried without added chemicals, the natural sugars in apricots caramelize, resulting in a darker brown color. That said, the Terrasoul sun-dried apricots aren't very pretty, as-is.This bag contained apricots with an unusual granular substance that left sand-like grit in my teeth.The ingredients : "Organic Pitted Dried Apricots -- May Contain Some Pits (Prunus Armeniaca) Packaged in a facility that handles tree nuts". The granular bits may be ground pits, but I suspect the sand-like texture is another Terrasoul product.Terrasoul processes various refined and milled grains, protein powders, seed-blends, psyllium, flax, pea-protein, charcoal-activated powder, desiccated coconut, chia seed powder, oats, and flours (to name just a few). I know this grit isn't sugar (it's not sweet and doesn't appear to have much flavor in and of itself -- it's just a granular substance). The only way to describe it is sand-like..?!I have never rinsed dried fruits, vegetables, or berries pre-consumption in the past (and I'm not sure if others do), but this experience with gritty sun-dried apricots has changed that. Rinsing dried fruits (seems to be) a necessity now.Here's what Amazon's Ai "Rufus" has to say :Dried fruits are generally safe to consume without rinsing, but there are a few considerations:- Dirt/debris - There is a small chance of dirt, insect parts or other debris making it into dried fruit packages. A quick rinse can help remove any visible contaminants.- Soaking - Soaking very hard, dry fruits such as apricots or figs in water for 30 minutes before eating can help rehydrate them and make them easier to chew.I contacted Terrasoul customer support (very helpful). They also provide real-time online chat, email contact-us, and have an actual "live" human at customer service.I still recommend all of the other Terrasoul products, including their sun-dried apricots (but I suggest rinsing and soaking before consuming).

I used to think apricots were OK, but not worth going out of my way to enjoy. When I discovered they were a very high in potassium I decided to try them. So I ordered these. These these are different; they are much sweeter, and plump, and taste like candy! They are nothing like that tough, rubbery, bright orange apricots that you buy at the grocery store. Highly recommend recommended!

I’ve ordered these apricots a few times now to add to my muesli recipe. There was a promotion at the time I purchased these in September 2024 and so I ordered a two pack in addition to the third bag I ordered separately since I use these regularly in my recipe. I was remaking my recipe and grabbed these bags out of the pantry. Both are unopened and yet one bag is completely bloated and the other is molded. Expiration is not until 2025 for both but they are completely spoiled within 2 months. Both bags are now being tossed and I’m outside the return window to get a refund. This was a waste of a purchase.I would maybe order again if I’m using immediately but the fact that these are not able to be stored unopened at room temperature in a dark pantry for 2 months before spoiling makes me hesitant to buy in surplus. Quality should be consistent and this makes their reported expiration date seem meaningless. Reading the other reviews about how other buyers have received their products makes me question their expiration dates and storage during shipping altogether. Buy with caution.

Organic apricots - healthy in many ways. Having purchased these apricots several times I can say they are deserving of a high rating. Besides being organic which is a benefit in itself they are moist, soft and taste just like the sulfured ones you normally may purchase. The lack of being sulfured is the reason they appear dark in color which may be a slight turnoff for some consumers but the absence of sulfur is a plus. The other healthy aspect of apricots is the high iron content which is very beneficial for anyone needing a boost in daily iron intake while enjoying a positive and tasty treat.

Tastes good and is healthy. A little expensive but worth it

These are delicious!!! A great snack or add to recipes, I just eat by the handful! Very healthy!!!

I don't love these. A few taste musty or moldy. And they are pure sweet. There's none of the sweet-tart complexity that fresh and mist dried apricots have. I will eat what I have remaining, but I will try a different brands next time.
