About Dried Apricot

Dried apricot is apricot flesh preserved by removing much of its moisture, commonly sold as whole fruit, halves, slices, or small pieces. It is eaten as a snack and used in baking, confectionery, cereals, compotes, stuffings, tagines, pilafs, and other sweet or savoury dishes.

It is soft and chewy or firmer and leathery, with a concentrated sweet-tart stone-fruit flavour. Its colour may range from bright orange to amber or dark brown depending on processing.

Pieces can be chopped or soaked before cooking, while whole halves are also used in stewed-fruit preparations. Soaking and cooking make the fruit softer and alter its water content and texture.

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

Identify whether the apricots are whole, halves, pieces, sulfured, unsulfured, sweetened, or otherwise treated. Drying changes texture and concentrates the fruit portion; soaking or cooking changes the final serving form. Include any coating, stuffing, or syrup when the dried apricot is part of a prepared dish.

Compare the right form: Reference dried apricot halves, whole fruit, pieces, or purée, with sweetened, sulfured, unsulfured, soaked, or cooked form identified.

Diet considerations

Dried apricot is plant-derived fruit. Compatibility changes with added sugar, cereal coatings, dairy, meat stuffing, or other recipe components. Compared with fresh apricot, its dried form has a more concentrated, portion-dependent carbohydrate pattern. A cooked, soaked, or syrup-packed preparation should be matched separately.
