FoodMate Score of the food
This is a score for the food on its own, by its composition per 100 g, using the same formula the app applies to a meal. On a plate with other foods the result will differ: buckwheat with vegetables scores higher than buckwheat alone.

How many calories are in dried apricots
Dried apricots have 241 kcal per 100 g: about 55 g of carbs, mostly natural sugars, 7 g of fiber and some protein. One piece weighs 6-10 g, 8 g on average, and gives 19 kcal. A handful of five is about 96 kcal. Soft large apricots can weigh 12-15 g each, and then they have more calories.
Dried apricots with and without pits
Uryuk is apricot dried whole with the pit, while kuraga is dried without it. The flesh has the same calories, but weighed with the pit it is about 215 kcal per 100 g. Bright orange dried apricots are treated with sulfur dioxide to keep the color; untreated dark ones have the same calories. Apricots in syrup or glaze are higher, about 290 kcal.
What dried apricots are good for
Dried apricots are one of the richest sources of potassium: a 40 g handful gives about 13% of the daily need. They also have fiber, copper, iron, vitamin E and carotene. Three or four pieces in oatmeal replace sugar and add about 60-75 kcal. Like other dried fruit, they are easy to eat by the handful, so it is better to set aside a portion.
Dried apricots for weight loss
Dried apricots fit a diet as a sweet snack instead of candy: 2-3 pieces with tea are 40-60 kcal. Because of the fiber, a large portion can cause bloating. With diabetes it is better to eat dried fruit with protein or nuts so blood sugar rises more slowly.
How to count your serving
Count by the piece, about 19 kcal each, or weigh and multiply by 2.41. If the apricots are in porridge, a curd casserole or a trail mix, take a photo in MyFoodMate AI and the app counts everything together.
