Apricots, dried

Dried apricots are apricot fruit with much of the water removed. The figures here describe dried apricots with no stones. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 43g per 100g, all of which is sugars. They also contain 4.8g of protein and 0.7g of fat per 100g, together with minerals including potassium, at 1880mg per 100g.

Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. Drying fruit concentrates its sugars, so the amount eaten is relevant for people monitoring their sugar or carbohydrate intake. Dried fruit can also stick to teeth; eating it with meals rather than between meals helps limit the frequency of sugar exposure. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
