Fruit History
I am a lover for reading random facts. I love reading about anything that comes up in my mind. Any subject. Anything, any object, any character, any word. So what do I look for right now. I am drinking apricot juice and thinking.. why this thing taste so damn good! Not only that.. I looked it up in Wikipedia.. (Cause I am a wikipedia junkie..) .. and I find historical reference to a “Fruit”! .. How amazing is that. I am sitting here drinking the juice of history!
The apricot is thought to have originated in northeastern China near the Russian border. In Armenia it was known from ancient times [1]. The Roman Field General Lucullus (106-57 B.C.) even exported some trees,- cherry, white heart cherry and apricot from Armenia to Europe. While English settlers brought the apricot to the English colonies in the New World, most of modern American production of apricots comes from the seedlings carried to the west coast by Spanish missionaries. Turkey is one of the leading dried-apricot producers[2]. Most U.S. production is in California with some in Oregon and Utah. In Armenia apricot is grown in Ararat Valley.
Now that is cool stuff there eh.. apricots and history.. how amazing is that.. and for all these lovely people out there who care about their skin’s beauty here is more fun stuff to know about apricots:
Fresh or dried, apricots are an excellent health and beauty food. Three small fresh apricots contain more than 50% of the recommended daily intake (RDA) of beta-carotene, a potent antioxidant. Beta-carotene prevents the build-up of plaque deposits in the arteries, protects the eyes from sun damage and deactivates free radicals that, if left unchecked, accelerate the ageing process and increase the risk of cancer. In addition, the body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is vital for good vision and for keeping the eyes lubricated. Those at risk of dry eyes, such as contact-lens wearers, should include plenty of apricots in their diet. Apricots contain significant levels of iron, essential for hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells. Iron deficiency leads to anaemia, pale skin, and thinning, undernourished hair.
In conclusion. I love apricots. They taste so damn good and good for you.. Isn’t that amazing.. :fruit: I didn’t know something so pale, discolored and small can be so gooooood.. 
Bow to the apricot’s great power… muwahahahaa.. :lmao:

Since you like Almonds, then do this, get the seed of the apricot, and crack it and eat the stuff inside it. It tastes Awesome
It seems really enjoyable eating and reading about the thing you are doing at the same very moment
But now I am preparing for my GRE exam which I’ll be taking tomorrow, pulling my hair out, though tempted to see what the history of the exam is, and see why they are torturing students with it!!!
