Apricot paste is bright and tangy enough to sell on taste alone, but its nutrition is a genuine part of the pitch. Concentrating the fruit into apricot paste carries the apricot's vitamins, fibre, and antioxidants into a clean-label ingredient — useful ammunition for buyers building better-for-you lines.
A carotenoid-rich fruit
Apricots are best known nutritionally for vitamin A, which they deliver as beta-carotene — the same pigment that gives the paste its vivid orange colour. They also provide vitamin C and a spread of polyphenol antioxidants. These transfer into the paste, so the colour on the plate is, quite literally, the nutrition.
Fibre and clean sweetness
Like the rest of our range, apricot paste is 100% fruit with no added sugar. That means its sweetness arrives with dietary fibre rather than refined carbohydrate, and it lets manufacturers trim added sugar while keeping a single, recognisable ingredient on the label. For a fruit filling or a dairy product, that is the difference between a long ingredient list and a short one.
From nutrition to claims
Nutrition only becomes a selling point when it is documented. Finished-product claims must reflect tested values, but starting from a pure apricot purée gives you a clean base to build on — and our Certificate of Analysis per lot supports the declarations you make. The paste is produced from Malatya fruit at our İzmir facility, in food-grade pails, drums, and aseptic IBC, alongside our date paste and fig paste.
