Apricots
Apricots mature in early summer and are harvested just as the skin changes from green to yellow before the fruit is too soft and subject to bruising. The U.S. fresh market production season is relatively short, lasting from mid-May through mid-August. However, processed apricots are typically available throughout the year.
Apricot consumption is around 1 lb per person per year, with the dried market increasing over the past several decades.
