Apricot: Iranian
apricots are nearly round with a depression at the top where the stem attached.
They have a vertical indentation that starts at the stem and goes down one side.
The skin is yellow-orange to pink-orange and feels soft and smooth. Apricots can
be similar in appearance to peaches and nectarines, but those fruits usually have
a reddish coloring to their skins. Apricots can also be confused with persimmons,
but persimmons have shinier skin. |
