One of the first products that come to mind when Malatya is mentioned is apricot. Apricot is not just an agricultural product, but also part of Malatya's trade, culinary and daily life culture.
There are different consumption forms such as dried apricots, sun-dried, apricot jam, fruit leather, molasses, nectar and apricot dessert. Şire Bazaar is one of the important places known for apricot and local product shopping.
Apricot is not just a product of Malatya, but also part of home economy, gift exchange and market culture.
