PAIRING: The Oltresole Bio Apricot juice is a sweet snack for the little ones or as an addition to soft and very light plumcakes with white yogurt. WELLNESS AND HEALTH: Apricots are fruits rich in toning substances, especially vitamins A and B. Thanks to the potassium and magnesium salts, they neutralize cushions and flaccidity. Thanks to their nutritional properties, they strengthen the immune system. Apricots also help in balancing blood pressure. The high potassium content is very useful in preventing disorders such as arterial hypertension, fatigue, digestive problems and cellulite. While carotene is a very important substance as it is used by the body to produce vitamin A. CURIOSITY: The Romans called it armeniacum that is Armenian apple because it came from there or praecox that is early because it ripened before peach and from this root it is derived the Greek term praikokion. Our apricot as well as the English apricot and the like derive instead from the Arabic al-barquq. In turn, the fruit gave its name to a light orange shade halfway between yellow and pink. A legend tells that originally it was only an ornamental plant with beautiful white flowers then when Armenia was invaded by enemies it was ordered to cut down all the trees that did not produce fruit to obtain timber and this would also have been the fate of the apricot if one girl had not wept under her foliage all night and in the morning some fruits had grown on the tree: apricots indeed. In other legends it is also referred to as the forbidden fruit tasted by Adam and Eve instead of the apple. In the popular English tradition, dreaming of apricot brings good luck.
