These apricots are fantastic! So much more flavor and a beautiful vibrant color!If you want a high quality dried version of dried apricots, you won’t be disappointed!

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.

I’m not a fan of Turkish apricots which is why I pounce when I can find sulphured California apricots. Usually I go with Blenheim varieties. These are tasty, tangy and moist. The way I like them. Generous bag for a decent price.

The product arrived in a thin blue colored plastic bag within a cardboard box. It was open and there was nothing suggesting an attempt to seal the product.The apricots are pale, lacking any orange color I'd expected.Flavor is terribly lacking! No tartness, not sweet & sour as I love in apricots; Just bland and and flavorless.The fruit is too muscular, not squishy and moist. Dry, stringy, and a turn-off for us.Tried using it with prunes, sweetener, cinnamon and clove in a compote but there was no apricot flavor.So disappointing!I need to return this product as I don't believe I can use it.I went to a Sprouts store and found incredible apricots for $2.49/lb.. That's a fraction of the price I paid for the product through Amazon.Ordinarily I'm very pleased with my purchases from Amazon. This is the first item I find unacceptable.

I have really liked my past orders of this product - the apricots have been very flavorable and fresh. Although this 2lb bag of apricots is fresh tasting they have absolutely no flavor - no apricot taste - no flavor at all - just chewy orange globs with a hint of sulfur.

These are absolutely delicious, moist and beautiful! The first order I received was very dry and bitter. I reached out to customer service and they apologized and said they’d send me a full replacement. It took a while, I sent another message to remind them. I received the new order and they are perfectly great. At least they are willing to replace the bad product at no additional cost to me. So if you get a bad batch, contact them immediately.

Read the label and instructions and directions and all notes before making a purchase. The color on these apricots is gorgeous. The texture is nice, but the chew is tougher and the taste earthier than a Turkish dried apricot. This is not the apricot that I would call sweet. Great with cheese, on a charcuterie, and diced or chopped and thrown into a trail mix. BEWARE: there may be pits and pieces of pits, so please check before giving to children or to people who may have dental issues or frail teeth. This item also contains sulfur dioxide.

I grew up when the South Bay of California was still largely fruit orchards. My grandfather would take me in mid-late July, near the end of the apricot season, to buy crates of apricots at throw-away prices. Then we would spend the next 3-4 days feverishly slicing, pitting and dehydrating them.These dried apricots take me back to those days. The mix is excellent, with some being exceptionally sweet and some being tangy. Some are drier and some moister, some are soft and some are chewy -- in other words, they are just like nature makes 'em. On the whole they are superior to those offered by TJ, having more flavor and a better ratio of sweet and tangy.Most of the negative comments I have read on here involve not reading the information (yes, they contain sulfites), or objecting to the variability in taste and texture of actual, natural dried fruit. However, if you know what a California apricot is, and aren't terrified of a non-heavily processed food, then you will not be disappointed in these.
