Dried apricots are like the superheroes of the snack world: they're dried, they're tasty, and they're packed with all sorts of natural goodness. But, just like superheroes, they need a little TLC to keep them in top condition. That's where refrigeration comes in - or does it?
It turns out, dried apricots don't necessarily need to be refrigerated, but it's definitely recommended if you want to keep them fresh for a longer period. I mean, think about it: when you dry an apricot, you're basically removing all the moisture that would normally make it go bad. But, that doesn't mean they're immune to the effects of heat, light, and humidity.
