Turkish small type apricot 'Zerdali' - Taken at North Aegean region - Türkiye
Normal seasonal heat has started in the region this week, under the scorching sun of 37-38 degrees during the day, apricot trees are starting to turn into a riot of colors!
Apricots are stone fruits known for their sweet and tangy flavor, and they belong to the same family as peaches, plums, and cherries. They typically have a velvety smooth skin that can range in color from yellow to orange, often with a blush of red.
Türkiye ranks first in the world in apricot cultivation. 10-15% of the world's apricot production is produced in Türkiye.
In the northern Aegean region of Türkiye, where I took the photo, apricots are commonly grown due to the favorable climate and soil conditions. This region benefits from warm summers and mild winters, which are ideal for the cultivation of apricots. Apricot trees thrive in well-drained soil and require plenty of sunlight to produce healthy fruit.
Apricots are often harvested in the summer months, usually from late June to early August, depending on the specific variety and local growing conditions. When fully ripe, apricots are juicy and fragrant, with a deliciously sweet flavor.
Turkey is renowned for its apricot cultivation, particularly in regions like Malatya, known as the "apricot capital" of Türkiye. The country produces a significant portion of the world's apricots, and Turkish apricots are prized for their flavor, sweetness, and quality.
Apricots grown in Türkiye come in various varieties, each with its own unique characteristics in terms of taste, texture, and appearance. Some popular Turkish apricot varieties include Hacıhaliloğlu, Şekerpare, and Kabaasi.
In addition to being enjoyed fresh, Turkish apricots are also dried and exported to various countries around the world. Dried Turkish apricots are a popular snack known for their chewy texture and intense sweetness.
Overall, Turkish apricots are a delicious and nutritious fruit enjoyed both domestically and internationally.
I've captured some memorable moments with my camera, and I genuinely hope you'll experience the same joy in viewing these images as I did in capturing them.
