DRIED APRICOTS Apricots are the fruit containing the highest quantities of potassium and carotene, used by the organism to produce A vitamin. Moreover apricots are rich in A, B, C and PP vitamins and several micronutrients (like magnesium, phosphorous, iron, etc.). They also have laxative properties, helped by the sorbitol content (a sugar). Di Nunzio dried apricots are harvested in Turkey and mainly packed directly by Di Nunzio.

CAROB Carob is an atypical pulse as it contains mostly carbohydrates. Carobs have a cloying taste, someway similar to chocolate, therefore they can indulge a sweet whim without exaggerating with fats and calories. There are diet bars on sale using carobs as a substitute of chocolate. Di Nunzio carobs are harvested in Italy, mainly in the hilly area of Gargano.

DATES Dates are one of the fruit with the higher concentration of glucides, they can contain up to 70%. Dates are excellent against bone decalcification.
