It's WINTER, so why is this today's national day??????
Here are today’s five thing to know about Apricot:
- In Latin, apricot means ‘precious’.
- The apricot, discovered about 4,000 years ago in China, was introduced to the United States in the 18th century.
- Brought to California by Spanish explorers, the apricot quickly became a popular crop.
- Today, apricot farmers in California produce more than 95 percent of the apricots grown in the United States.
- Choose an apricot that’s plump and that responds to the slight pressure of your thumb. It should be slightly soft.
