Sigona’s Summer Sale: Dried Fruit & Nuts
Don’t miss out on our best sale of summer 2025 on dried fruit & nuts! We have more than 50 items on sale (in-store only).
Dried fruits & nuts are a fantastic snack to have around when the kids are hungry, when you’re headed out for a hike, to the beach or even for a day of shopping. They pack a lot of nutrients, protein, fiber, flavor and more.
One of our favorites is, of course, the heirloom Blenheim apricots. The Blenheims are incredibly flavorful and are one of our best-sellers!
All of our heirloom Blenheim dried apricots are from Hollister, where the weather and soil conditions are excellent for growing the delicate variety. Though it thrives in this area, the Blenheim has become scarce as farmland is replaced by businesses and housing. It’s also such a delicate variety (it bruises easily), most farmers do not bother with it. The solution: drying!
We’ve worked with the same farmer for over 45 years to provide these locally grown treats. Mark Gibson grows and processes the apricots with meticulous care. He picks at the peak of ripeness, hand cuts the fruit in half and dries them in the sun, a process which helps retain the natural, bright orange color, vitamins and minerals.
Blenheims are great for snacking, but we like to incorporate them into different dishes, too, such as Heirloom Blenheim Dried Apricot Energy Bites with Cashews and Chia Seeds (recipe below). We hope you find your favorite on this list, and maybe even something new to try.
This sale is valid in-store only and good for a limited time. Hurry in!
