Produce Lessons...Apricots

'Tis the season for some of my favorite fruits! So let's start with apricots...
Almost all U.S. apricots come from California...did you know that? Look for apricots that are plump and firm. They should have a uniform color that ranges from pale yellow to dark orange.
Keepin' it Fresh: Keep apricots in a plastic bag in your refrigerator. They are highly perishable but should keep for a few days.
Trivia: Did you know that bees are the chief pollinators of apricots???
