In the small village of San Mattia on the southern coast of Italy, the family tradition of marinating fruit continues with the youngest son. Paolo hand-picks fresh ripe apricots from the orchard, selecting only the finest fruit to be used in their desserts. He slices and dries the apricots, letting the sun bake goodness into every piece. Once the fruit is dry, Paolo spoons it into tall glass jars which his mother fills with the secret recipe, part Disaronno amaretto and part magic. Each day he rotates the jars to coat the succulent fruit. At the end of three weeks, the apricots are plump with liqueur and ready for baking.Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.
How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.
If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
