➤ When: Apricots are best in June and July. Tree-ripened apricots have the best flavor but are so delicate they don’t seem to make it to the supermarket. However, a trip to your farmers’ market should produce an abundance. Blenheim apricots are a favorite.
➤ What to Look For: Apricots should have a sweet aroma, good color, and yield to gentle pressure, which indicates ripeness. Avoid apricots with a slightly green color, as they were picked too soon.
➤ Why: Apricots contain age-reducing lycopene.
➤ How to Use: Apricots can be dried and eaten as a snack or used in breads, salsas, and salads. They’re also used in pies, other desserts, and blended drinks.
