Method

Rinse the dried¹ apricots under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and check for pits.
Cut the dried¹ apricots into pieces about 3–4 cm in size.
Combine the dried¹ apricots and seeds in a small bowl.
Transfer to a plate and serve as a snack.

Tips

Why it works: Rinse dried apricots to remove dust and surface dirt; pat them dry to prevent sogginess when mixing with seeds.
Substitutions: Use raisins instead of dried apricots (40g) or sunflower seeds instead of pumpkin seeds (15g).
Common mistakes: Overcrowding the bowl makes the apricots stick together; check for clumps before serving.
Storing and reheating: Keeps 3 days in the fridge; eat at room temperature or lightly warm seeds for 10 seconds in a dry pan.
Serve with: Pair with a cup of black tea or Greek yogurt for a balanced snack.
