Health Benefits of Apricot (Mammea americana)

Flavonoids. See that rich yellow-orange colour of apricots? This tells us they are rich in flavonoids. Flavonoids are phytonutrients with antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties. They may work synergistically with vitamins, that is they enhance their health benefits when consumed together.
