Bukharan Apricots

Caption

Historical sources praise the quality of fruits from specific regions or orchards in Central Asia, such as the golden peaches or Samarkand, the Hami melons, or the mare's nipple grapes. Many unique varieties of fruits are cultivated in Central Asia today, including these small Bukharan apricots, which are primarily grown for their nutty seeds.
