The Apricot
(Prunus armeniaca, "Armenian plum" in Latin, syn. Armeniaca
vulgaris Lam. "Tsiran" in Armenian) is a species of Prunus,
classified with the plum in the subgenus Prunus.
It is
a small tree, 8–12 m tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm diameter
and a dense, spreading canopy. The leaves are ovate, 5–9 cm
long and 4–8 cm wide, with a rounded base, a pointed tip and
a finely serrated margin. The flowers are 2–4.5 cm diameter,
with five white to pinkish petals; they are produced singly
or in pairs in early spring before the leaves. The fruit is
a drupe similar to a small peach, 1.5–2.5 cm diameter (larger
in some modern cultivars), from yellow to orange, often tinged
red on the side most exposed to the sun; its surface is usually
pubescent. The single seed is enclosed in a hard stony shell,
often called a "stone", with a grainy, smooth texture except
for three ridges running down one side.
 Research
shows that of any food, apricots possess the highest levels
and widest variety of carotenoids. Carotenoids are antioxidants
that help prevent heart disease, reduce "bad cholesterol"
levels, and protect against cancer. In traditional Chinese
medicine, apricots are considered helpful in regenerating
body fluids, detoxifying, and quenching thirst. Some claim
that the kernels also have healthy properties, including toning
the respiratory system and alleviating a cough. However, the
tip of the apricot holds a concentrated amount of the chemical
laetrile, which can be upsetting to the system. The tips of
the seeds should be removed and consumption should be limited
to no more than five a day.
