Apricots, stewed without sugar

Apricots are a stone fruit, described here with their stones removed and stewed in water without added sugar. They mainly provide water and carbohydrate, with small amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, they contain 6.2g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 0.1g of fat, 200mg of potassium and 4mg of vitamin C.

The sugars are naturally present in the fruit, despite no sugar being added during cooking. This is relevant when considering total sugar or carbohydrate intake. Potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function, while vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
