FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Are stewed sulfured dehydrated apricots healthy?
Yes, they are a nutrient-dense fruit option. They are an excellent source of dietary fiber for digestion, beta-carotene for eye health, and potassium for heart function, all while remaining very low in fat.
How many calories and carbs are in a 100g serving?
A 100g serving of stewed sulfured dehydrated apricots contains approximately 85 calories and 22.5g of carbohydrates. Most of these carbs come from natural fruit sugars and beneficial dietary fiber.
What does 'sulfured' mean and is it safe?
Sulfured means the apricots were treated with sulfur dioxide during drying to preserve their bright orange color and vitamins. While safe for most people, those with asthma or sulfite sensitivities should avoid them as they may cause an allergic reaction.
Are stewed dehydrated apricots good for weight loss?
They can be beneficial for weight loss because their high fiber content promotes satiety, helping you feel full longer. However, because they are more calorie-dense than fresh fruit, it is important to monitor portion sizes.
Are these apricots vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, stewed sulfured dehydrated apricots are naturally vegan and gluten-free. They consist only of fruit, water (from stewing), and a preservative, making them suitable for plant-based and celiac-friendly diets.
Are stewed apricots keto-friendly?
No, they are generally not considered keto-friendly. With 22.5g of carbohydrates per 100g, they contain too much natural sugar to fit within the strict daily carb limits of a ketogenic diet.
How do you use stewed dehydrated apricots in cooking?
They are commonly used as a topping for porridge, yogurt, or pancakes. They also work well in savory dishes like lamb tagines or can be pureed to make a natural sweetener for sauces and desserts.
What do stewed dehydrated apricots taste like?
They have a concentrated, sweet-tart flavor that is much more intense than fresh apricots. The stewing process gives them a soft, plump, and jam-like texture compared to the chewy texture of dry apricots.
How should I store stewed apricots and how long do they last?
Once stewed, they should be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will last for 5 to 7 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
Do these apricots provide any benefits for blood health?
Yes, they provide a source of non-heme iron, which is vital for red blood cell production and preventing anemia. To maximize absorption, try eating them with a source of Vitamin C, such as citrus fruit.
