In the ever-growing world of healthy snacking, dried fruits have carved out a permanent place on our kitchen shelves. Among them, dried apricots have long been celebrated not only for their irresistible sweetness but also for their nutritional value and versatility. Today, more than ever, conscious consumers are turning to snacks that satisfy both taste and wellness. And at the heart of this shift lies the humble dried apricot—golden, chewy, rich in flavor, and naturally sweet.
For residents and retailers across Delhi NCR, the search for premium dried apricots just got easier. Exotic Crate, a trusted name in the dry fruit industry, brings top-quality dried apricots directly to your doorstep. Whether you’re a household that enjoys healthy munching or a business that prides itself on offering the best to your customers, Exotic Crate is committed to delivering excellence in every pack.
The Story Behind Our Apricots
Our journey begins in some of the most pristine apricot-growing regions of the world. We source our dried apricots from select farms in Turkey, Afghanistan, and India—regions where apricot cultivation is part of a longstanding agricultural tradition. In these sun-drenched valleys, the apricots are allowed to ripen naturally before being handpicked at peak ripeness.
What sets our apricots apart is the traditional sun-drying method. Instead of relying on quick-fix artificial processes that compromise both taste and nutrition, our apricots are laid out under the warm sun, allowing nature to do what it does best. This slow-drying technique not only enhances the flavor but also preserves the fruit’s essential nutrients. The result is a product that’s naturally sweet, soft in texture, and packed with health benefits.
Why Dried Apricots Matter in Everyday Diets
Dried apricots are more than just a tasty snack. They are a nutritional powerhouse. Rich in Vitamin A, iron, potassium, and fiber, these golden gems support everything from vision and skin health to digestion and immunity. For vegetarians and vegans who are constantly seeking iron-rich plant sources, dried apricots are a great option. Similarly, those managing blood pressure or looking for heart-healthy foods will appreciate the potassium content packed in each serving.
In urban lifestyles where processed snacks are all too common, dried apricots serve as a convenient alternative. They don’t require refrigeration, have a long shelf life, and are portable—making them ideal for work, school, travel, or post-workout fuel. They’re also widely used in meal prep, desserts, and traditional dishes, adding both sweetness and texture to the culinary experience.
A Taste That Reflects Quality
What defines a great dried apricot? For us at Exotic Crate, it’s a perfect balance between softness, chewiness, and natural sweetness. Our apricots aren’t rubbery or overly dry. They’re tender to the bite, rich in color, and flavorful without any added sugar or preservatives. We ensure that each batch undergoes strict quality control so that only the best make it into our pouches and gift boxes.
Customers often describe our dried apricots as “sun-kissed” — a reflection of their origin and the meticulous care involved in their drying process. From the very first bite, you’ll taste the difference. There’s no chemical aftertaste, no artificial sweetness — just the essence of real fruit, concentrated by the sun and sealed for freshness.

Dried Apricots and Indian Cuisine
While dried apricots are often associated with Western snacking habits, they hold a significant place in Indian cooking as well. From rich Mughlai gravies to Kashmiri yakhni and sweet halwas, the dried apricot—locally known as khubani—has long been a cherished ingredient.
In fact, khubani ka meetha, a traditional Hyderabadi dessert made from stewed dried apricots, is still a showstopper at weddings and festivals. Bakers too, increasingly experiment with dried apricots in cakes, muffins, energy bars, and granola mixes. Their natural sweetness means they can be used to cut down on refined sugar while boosting nutritional content.
For customers in Delhi NCR who appreciate both tradition and innovation in food, dried apricots are the perfect bridge between taste and wellness.
Our Commitment to Clean Eating
In today’s health-driven world, consumers are more aware than ever about what they eat. Ingredient labels are scrutinized, and artificial additives are increasingly avoided. At Exotic Crate, we embrace this wave of clean eating by offering dried apricots that are completely natural. No sulfur dioxide, no artificial color, no sweeteners — just pure fruit.
We work directly with growers and processors to ensure traceability and sustainability. Every pack of apricots comes with our commitment to quality and safety. We also follow hygienic packaging standards and use eco-friendly materials wherever possible to reduce our environmental footprint.
