About Uzbek Organic Dried Apricots
Sourced from the fertile orchards of both the Fergana Valley and the Samarkand region, our dried apricots benefit from the diverse climates and rich soils of these renowned agricultural areas. The Fergana Valley is known for its lush, fruit-producing landscapes, while Samarkand, with its ancient trade routes, has long been a center of agriculture and commerce.
We export one varietie of organic dried apricots. The Subkhona variety, a favorite in Uzbekistan, distinguished by its vibrant orange color, rich, full-bodied flavor, and firm yet tender texture. Subkhona apricots are carefully cultivated to meet the high standards expected by professionals in the food industry.
Whether for retail, culinary, or wholesale purposes, our dried apricots deliver exceptional quality to meet the needs of discerning buyers.
Our Natural Sun Drying Method
At the core of our traditional approach to producing high-quality dried apricots is the use of natural sun drying, a time-honored method that harnesses the power of the sun to preserve the fruit in its most authentic form. This process allows the apricots to dry gradually under the sun, enhancing both their taste and natural appearance without the use of additives.
Sun drying is a gentle and slow process that ensures the fruit retains its natural sweetness while reducing its moisture content to optimal levels. This careful drying under the sun not only deepens the flavor but also allows the apricots to develop a natural, rich golden-brown color—true to their origin and free from artificial treatments.
Moreover, this method keeps the process fully organic, with the apricots simply being laid out in the open air on drying racks. They are regularly turned to ensure even drying and to protect the fruit from any damage or contamination.
Although this process takes more time than other methods, the end result is a product that captures the true essence of the apricot. Our naturally dried apricots deliver a robust, rich taste, paired with a wholesome texture, and are ideal for those seeking a natural and unadulterated product.
By using the sun’s natural energy, we are able to provide a product that embodies sustainability, traditional craftsmanship, and the pure, authentic flavors of Uzbekistan’s apricot orchards.
