Apricots, stewed with sugar

These apricots are stewed with water and added sugar, with the stones removed. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 18g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, and provide 308 kJ of energy. They also contain 190mg of potassium and 4mg of vitamin C.

The sugar content includes both sugars naturally present in the fruit and sugar added during preparation. This is worth noting when considering total sugar and energy intake. Potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function, while vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (1000g fruit, 100g water, 120g sugar; stones removed). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
