Apricot
Apricot is a sweet stone fruit eaten fresh or used in preserves, desserts, and beverages.
About Apricot
Apricot is the edible fruit of an apricot tree, a small stone fruit with soft flesh surrounding one hard pit. Fresh fruit is eaten after removing the pit or cut into salads, desserts, and savoury dishes. Apricots are also dried, canned, juiced, or cooked into jams, preserves, sauces, and desserts.
Its flavour is sweet and distinctly fruity, often with mild tartness. Ripe flesh is yielding, soft, and delicate, while less-ripe fruit is firmer and more acidic. Drying, canning, juicing, and cooking substantially alter the fruit’s moisture, texture, and flavour concentration.
The skin is usually yellow to orange and may have a red flush; flesh colour ranges within similar warm shades. Apricots are sold fresh, dried, canned, juiced, or prepared. Removing the pit makes the fruit ready to eat, while cooking softens it and preserves or drying make the texture denser and the flavour more concentrated.

There are limitations associated with food composition databases. Food composition data used in the database or databases may represent an average of the nutrient content of a particular sample of foods and ingredients, determined at a particular time.

Portions & preparation
Match the apricot variety and edible portion as fresh, peeled, pitted, cooked, canned, or dried. Preparation can change water content and serving density. Record whether the skin and flesh are eaten, and exclude the stone; mixed fruit dishes, syrups, pastry, and fillings require separate references.
Compare the right form: Match apricot variety and form as fresh, pitted, cooked, canned, or dried, with edible skin and flesh distinguished.
Diet considerations
Apricot is a plant-derived stone fruit. Plain fresh or cooked fruit differs from dried apricots, preserves, nectar, pastries, and canned fruit in syrup, which may add concentrated sweeteners, cereals, dairy, or coatings. Portion and water removal alter carbohydrate patterns, so the exact preparation should guide dietary interpretation.
