Apricots, canned in juice, whole contents

These are apricots canned in juice, with the nutritional values referring to the whole contents, including both the fruit and the juice. They mainly provide carbohydrate, along with some vitamins and minerals, and contain little fat or protein. Per 100g, they provide 8.4g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 14mg of vitamin C, 135µg of vitamin A equivalents and 170mg of potassium.

Vitamin C supports normal wound healing and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Vitamin A contributes to normal vision and immune function. For people monitoring sugar intake, the figures include sugars in both the apricots and the surrounding juice, rather than drained fruit alone. Full nutritional figures are shown in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 5 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LGC, Nutritional composition of fruit products, 1985-1986. Carotene estimated from apricots in syrup, LGC Determination of cis carotenoids in foodstuffs, 1997.
