Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

July 14 - Apricot Selection Tips:

Apricots should be well-formed and fairly firm, but not dull-looking, soft, brown-spotted, mushy or extremely firm. Pick apricots that are dark yellow or yellow-orange in color.

Apricots are very fragile. They should not be handled roughly or stored at high room temperatures.

To ripen apricots, place them in a sealed plastic or paper bag and keep them at room temperature.

OASIS has much more information on soft fruit.
