Apricots are small orange-colored fruits with a sweet flavor. The flavor is not overly sweet but tilts towards a little tart. Apricots have a smooth skin and flesh and are eaten fresh, in dried form and as jams, jellies and other preserves as well. The scientific name of the apricot fruit is Prunus armenaica. The origin of the apricot fruit is disputed. Some say it first originated in China and later arrived in Asia and Europe and then spread to other parts of the world. Other experts attribute Armenia as the place where apricots were first cultivated.
