About Jumbo Dried Apricots

Jumbo dried apricots are the largest size grades — typically No.1 and No.2 — selected for premium retail, gift packaging and food-service where fruit size signals quality. They come from the same Malatya orchards as standard grades but are calibrated to the biggest, best-formed fruit.

Jumbo apricots are available sulphured (bright orange, soft and moist) or natural sun-dried (dark brown, more concentrated flavour, no SO2). Both are pitted, calibrated on screens and inspected, and the larger size makes them ideal for premium pouches, trays and gift assortments.

FromTurk connects buyers with verified Malatya jumbo apricot exporters. Each lot ships with size grading, SO2 residue analysis where applicable, moisture specs, and A.TR or EUR.1 certificates for the EU, so premium packers and retailers receive consistent, top-grade fruit.
