Dr. Michael T Murray answered:Apricots are good sources of potassium, iron, and carotenes. They are also a good source of fiber. A 31/2-oz (100 g) serving of apricot (about three apricots) provides 48 calories, 1.4 g of protein, 0.4 g of fat, and 11.1 g of carbohydrate, with 2.0 g of fiber and 9.2 g of natural sugars (sucrose, glucose, and fructose), as well as 0.4 mg of iron and 259 mg of potassium. The same-sized serving of dried apricot provides 241 calories, 3.4 g of protein, 0.5 g of fat, and 62.6 g of carbohydrate, with 7.3 g of fiber and 53.4 g of natural sugars, as well as 2.7 mg of iron and 1,162 mg of potassium.
