How it differs from similar foods
Compared to apricots packed in heavy syrup, these halves use an extra light syrup. This results in a less intensely sweet flavor, allowing the natural apricot taste to be more prominent. The texture of the fruit may also be slightly softer than those in heavier syrups, making them easier to mash or blend.
