Kayısı, known as apricot in English, is a small, orange fruit that belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is native to Asia but is now cultivated in many parts of the world, particularly in Turkey, which is one of the largest producers. The fruit is rich in vitamins A and C, making it a healthy snack option. The kayısı tree thrives in warm climates and typically bears fruit in late spring to early summer. Besides being eaten fresh, apricots can be dried, canned, or used in various dishes, including jams and desserts. Their sweet and slightly tart flavor makes them a popular choice in many cuisines.
