The term KAISI is used to designate traditional local forms of apricot developed through folk selection. In regions like the Greek island of Ikaria, such apricots are distinguished by small fruits, a sweet aroma, and pits whose kernels are edible and resemble almonds.
These forms are adapted to the specific microclimatic conditions of their territories, such as the dry and warm climate of foothills or islands. The fruits are typically consumed fresh, used for drying, or utilized for making traditional sweets and marmalades.
