Kroger Probiotic Dried Apricots
What it is
These are dried apricots that have been treated to include live and active probiotic cultures. The drying process preserves the fruit, making it shelf-stable. The addition of probiotics is intended to offer a potential benefit to gut health. They are a convenient way to consume both fruit and beneficial bacteria in a single snack.
How people cook with it
Dried apricots are a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. They can be enjoyed on their own or incorporated into various culinary creations.
- Snack on them directly
- Add to trail mix
- Incorporate into baked goods
- Stir into oatmeal
Enjoy these dried apricots as a ready-to-eat snack straight from the package. They can also be added to your morning oatmeal or yogurt for a touch of sweetness and texture. For baking, they can be chopped and mixed into muffins, scones, or cookies. In savory applications, they can be rehydrated and added to stews, tagines, or pilafs to provide a subtle fruity note and tender chewiness. Their natural sweetness makes them a good substitute for added sugar in some recipes.

How to keep the rest
