Class A or Extra: This is the highest quality grade, with the best color, flavor, and texture. The apricots are usually large and uniform in size, with no defects.
Class B or Standard: This is the most commonly exported grade, with slightly lower quality than Class A. The apricots may have some defects or variation in size, but are still considered to be of good quality.
Class C or Industrial: This grade is lower in quality and is often used for industrial purposes, such as making jams or other processed foods. The apricots may have significant defects, discoloration, or damage.
