Traina Home Grown CA Sun Dried Ruby Royal Apricots, Jumbo-Dried Fruit,Bulk (5 lbs)

OUTSTANDING! The best we've ever tasted.

These jumbo Ruby Royal apricot halves, in the 5 lb size, are soft, sweet, and tangy. Their sweetness and softness indicate they were harvested almost fully ripe. They have a decent amount of that distinct apricot aroma. I like them a lot. These Ruby Royals are both sweeter and less sour than Blenheim, although Blenheim has a more pronounced apricot aroma. To give a sense of comparison on a scale of 1 to 5 (where 5 is best and 1 is worst): Traina Jumbo Ruby Royal apricots: 4 on sweetness, 4 on aroma. Good balance between sweetness, sourness, and aroma. It's not the most aromatic apricot, but it's also less sour than Blenheim, so Ruby Royal apricots offer a good compromise. Blenheim (sulfured) apricots: 2 on sweetness, 5 on aroma. Blenheim apricots have the most pronounced traditional apricot aroma typically found in better apricot jams and preserves, but can be quite sour unless fully ripe. Typical Turkish (sulfured) apricots available at Costco and supermarkets: 5 for sweetness, 0 for aroma. Turkish apricots have the highest sugar content and have no sourness at all, but unfortunately, they have no apricot aroma whatsoever.

For decades I have bought dried apricots in stores and they have been ok. Some are soft and sweet, some firm and sour no overall consistency so I just thought that’s the dried apricot market and I should just accept it. My box arrived yesterday and I indulged by enjoying 20 of them. Every single one was soft and sweet and CONSISTENTLY delicious. I’m NEVER buying apricots from stores again.

Once you start to eat almost can’t stop eating it, SO GOOD. Moist not dry excellent choice.

I have really liked my past orders of this product - the apricots have been very flavorable and fresh. Although this 2lb bag of apricots is fresh tasting they have absolutely no flavor - no apricot taste - no flavor at all - just chewy orange globs with a hint of sulfur.

The best apricots I've ever - yummy!

Apricot taste good, but could they at least close/secure the bag with a knot, zip-tie,or twist tie so you would feel like maybe your edibles weren't touched, tampered with, or contaminated!?! 😖

excellent product, much better than Turkish variety of apricots. Downside is these are too expensive to routinely buy

Estos chabacanos llegaron tarde, cafés y chiquitos. Trate de obtener un reembolso. No lo logré ; creo que no envié la foto en tiempo. Era un encargo y la verdad no fui a casa de quienes me lo encargaron a retratar…
