They have unique characteristics that set them apart from other apricot varieties. Unlike their counterparts, Sugar Apricots possess a remarkable brix level, reaching up to 28 when fully matured. This makes them almost twice as sweet as mature sweet cherry or  2-3 times more than a mature watermelon.

Recognizable by their distinct appearance, Sugar Apricots are relatively smaller than other apricot varieties. Their petite size adds to their charm and uniqueness. Additionally, they showcase a beautiful green-yellowish hue. Some Sugar Apricots even sport a delicate red blemish on their cheeks, enhancing their visual appeal.
