California Sun Dried Apricots, Extra Fancy – Halves

Extra fancy sun dried apricots are grown in California’s Central Valley and naturally dried under the sun to preserve their golden-orange hue, balanced tangy-sweet flavor, and tender texture. Slightly smaller than jumbo halves, they still provide excellent visual appeal and consistent performance for both savory and sweet recipes.

Backed by Traina’s nearly 100 years of sun drying expertise, these apricots are processed in a nut-free, kosher-certified facility powered by 100% solar energy. With sustainable sourcing and dependable quality, they are a trusted ingredient for chefs, caterers, and product developers.

Culinary Appeal & Flavor

Extra-Fancy halves deliver bold sweet-tart flavor, golden vibrancy, and a tender chew. Their size makes them versatile enough for cheese boards, charcuterie, and small plates, while also offering uniformity for industrial applications.

Applications & Usage

These apricots perform well in snack mixes, granola, bars, confections, sauces, and Mediterranean-style dishes. Their uniform halves allow for consistent distribution across production lines and appealing presentation in plated dishes.

Efficiency & Convenience

Ready-to-use and shelf-stable, extra fancy sun dried apricots simplify prep and ensure consistent results. Their reliable size and structure streamline workflow in both foodservice operations and large-scale manufacturing.
