🍑 Apricot: Your concentrate of sunshine and renewed youth

What if you could bite into a ray of sunshine to boost your collagen?

The apricot isn't just the softest fruit to the touch; it's a nutritional powerhouse that works for you from the inside out. In Canada, where the lack of light can affect our mood and skin, the apricot is an essential ally in your morning routine.

  • The Skin & Vision Duo: Like carrots, apricots are packed with beta-carotene. Health Canada confirms that vitamin A from these pigments is essential for maintaining healthy skin and sharp night vision.

  • The Antioxidant Shield: Rich in flavonoids, it helps neutralize free radicals responsible for premature cell aging. It's your edible anti-aging serum.

  • The Energy Potassium: Fresh or dried, it's an exceptional source of potassium, crucial for muscle recovery and blood pressure balance.

Apricots have a flaw: they're finicky. Either you crush your fingers trying to extract the pit from an overripe fruit, or you end up with an shapeless purée when you wanted beautiful halves for a tart or salad. And let's not talk about the delicate skin that gets damaged with the slightest poorly adjusted knife stroke.

Discover the Shurhome Pitter

Prepare your apricots (and plums!) like a pro, without ever damaging the flesh.

  • Clean Extraction: A simple press and the pit is ejected, leaving the fruit perfectly intact and ready to be enjoyed.

  • Radical Time Savings: Prepare a pie crust or your week's snacks in less than 2 minutes.

  • Total Safety: No more knife blades slipping on the fruit's smooth skin. The Velvet-Push is safe, even for budding chefs.


Don't let a pit separate you from your daily dose of sunshine.
