Jabaliya elders believe that apricots are a strong prebiotic. The inside of the seed (el nawa) has immunity-boosting properties which prepare the gut and body for a diverse diet through the summer months. Rose is a healing spring bloom and together with apricot makes an opulent jam, blending vibrant fruit with delicate floral notes.
