Dried apricots are the dried fruit of the apricot tree, and are usually oblong, wrinkled, and less than 1 inch across and roughly 1 inch in length. They can range in color from light yellow to orange, depending on the amount of sulfur dioxide (SO2) they contain. Apricots are treated with SO2 during the drying process to prevent browning and extend their shelf life, but this can reduce their sweetness. Apricots that are dried without preservatives are brown and sweeter, with a slightly tart taste.
Dried apricots are rich in nutrients, including fiber, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. They also contain vitamin A, which is good for eye health, bones and teeth, and the immune system. Dried apricots are also high in magnesium, which helps regulate blood pressure, and iron, which improves the oxygen carrying capacity of blood.
