Home Grown CA Sun Dried Ruby Royal Apricots, Jumbo-Dried Fruit(5lbs)

Healthy, tasty & simply amazing California apricots ! The best kept secret !!!!

These jumbo Ruby Royal apricot halves, in the 5 lb size, are soft, sweet, and tangy. Their sweetness and softness indicate they were harvested almost fully ripe. They have a decent amount of that distinct apricot aroma. I like them a lot. These Ruby Royals are both sweeter and less sour than Blenheim, although Blenheim has a more pronounced apricot aroma. To give a sense of comparison on a scale of 1 to 5 (where 5 is best and 1 is worst): Traina Jumbo Ruby Royal apricots: 4 on sweetness, 4 on aroma. Good balance between sweetness, sourness, and aroma. It's not the most aromatic apricot, but it's also less sour than Blenheim, so Ruby Royal apricots offer a good compromise. Blenheim (sulfured) apricots: 2 on sweetness, 5 on aroma. Blenheim apricots have the most pronounced traditional apricot aroma typically found in better apricot jams and preserves, but can be quite sour unless fully ripe. Typical Turkish (sulfured) apricots available at Costco and supermarkets: 5 for sweetness, 0 for aroma. Turkish apricots have the highest sugar content and have no sourness at all, but unfortunately, they have no apricot aroma whatsoever.

First few were a bit tasteless, looked perfect, colors perfect, gooey texture, seemed all flavor was missing, like it had been steamed and flavors evaporated off .. disappointed as my taste Love has always been Apricots. All over the World, first in Australia, then Asia, Europe, Turkey, now California. I think what we get is that.. A big blue bag of slightly cooked Apricots, left in bag to reabsorb all the flavor. Once we dig deeper, it was like there was a film sprayed over the Apricot cube, to stop it sticking to the bag. Some of the flavor is masked by that sprayed on oil-like film. Digging further into the cube, the Apricots are heavenly. Take great CARE and SKILL not to eat too many. 5 to 10 are my personal Daily limits. Like eating perfectly Ripe Apricots, only shrunk down with 100% no yuck guarantee. Better than best sugar candy. This stuff is the real deal .. 100% delicious, truly Best in the World for value, taste, texture, speed of delivery and best of all, shear culinary ecstasy. CAUTION - Do not overeat, will cause bloating and possible wind.

For decades I have bought dried apricots in stores and they have been ok. Some are soft and sweet, some firm and sour no overall consistency so I just thought that’s the dried apricot market and I should just accept it. My box arrived yesterday and I indulged by enjoying 20 of them. Every single one was soft and sweet and CONSISTENTLY delicious. I’m NEVER buying apricots from stores again.

Massive blue bag of tangy California Ruby Royal dried apricots. Trader Joe's carried Blenheim variety for as long as I can remember but wanted to try this variety. Good product and quality but not quite as flavorful and tangy as I had hoped. That said between these and the Arishan Turkish apricots they are good go to snacks. Had hoped the package would have been resealable...had to stuff into Ziplocs.

OUTSTANDING! The best we've ever tasted.

Apricot taste good, but could they at least close/secure the bag with a knot, zip-tie,or twist tie so you would feel like maybe your edibles weren't touched, tampered with, or contaminated!?! 😖

Once you start to eat almost can’t stop eating it, SO GOOD. Moist not dry excellent choice.

Estos chabacanos llegaron tarde, cafés y chiquitos. Trate de obtener un reembolso. No lo logré ; creo que no envié la foto en tiempo. Era un encargo y la verdad no fui a casa de quienes me lo encargaron a retratar…
