What it is

Dried apricots are apricots that have had most of their water content removed through drying. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. They are typically produced by sun-drying or using dehydrators.

Why it's used

Dried apricots are often used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in baked goods, trail mixes, and cereals. They add a chewy texture and fruity taste to snacks and desserts. They are also sometimes used in savory dishes, like stews and tagines.

Health notes

Dried apricots are a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA recognizes dried fruits, including apricots, as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dried fruits. While generally considered safe, their concentrated sugar content means they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Dried apricots are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
