These are processed food items, typically marketed as a convenient and palatable snack. They consist primarily of dried and flattened apricot pulp, often combined with other ingredients to enhance flavor, texture, or preservation. An example might be a thin sheet of dried apricot, rolled and packaged for consumption.
The appeal of this type of product lies in its portability, long shelf life, and concentrated fruit flavor. Historically, fruit preservation methods like drying have been employed for centuries to extend the availability of seasonal produce. Such methods provide sustenance during periods when fresh fruit is scarce and offer a source of vitamins and minerals.
