Density 82 · +1 vs Fruits & juices median

Fresh apricots score 82 of 100, a Strong rating that ranks 28th of 60 in the fruits and juices category, essentially level with the category median. The fruit's carbohydrate is its dominant macro, and its standout nutrients are vitamin C and vitamin A, each supplying 11% DV.

Apricots are eaten out of hand, sliced into fruit salads, or halved and grilled to concentrate their flavor. A cup of halves (155 g) supplies 2 g of fiber alongside 9.24 g of sugar, so while the fruit is low in calories at 48 per 100 g, most of its carbohydrate is naturally occurring sugar rather than fiber.
