Fresh & Dried Apricots

janemem · July 2012

Can anyone tell me if apricots are really good for you? Is the downside of the sugar content outweighed by the nutritional benefits?

Vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium are the significant micro-nutrients.

Dried apricots may be sulphited (SO2) to reduce colour formation

Thanks for that info', I think I will definitely be adding apricots into my diet from now on.

The trees are loaded this year. I have been over-indulging in them but I am still trying to track them. I need to go raid a tree in the morning. I have put up quite a bit in the freezer. A local restaurant is featuring a chicken cutlet smothered in an apricot onion sauce. I had it for a meal today. I tried to make it myself but, I need to try again to come up with a success.

I have just had a look online and there are plenty of recipes for chicken in apricot & onion sauce to choose from. Good luck on your next attempt.

I'm not a lover of fruit and meat together (with the exception of roast pork and tart apple sauce) so I'll be giving it a miss but I will certainly be eating more apricots as a snack.

I eat dried apricots sometimes as a snack to bump up my potassium levels. I'm always lacking in that area.

That's why I was interested in them as my potassium intake is dire.
