Apricots
Diet Nutrition
Apricots are an excellent source of beta-carotene and are useful in reducing infections or skin problems.
Dried apricots, like all dried fruit, are much higher in calories due to their sugar content and may contain the preservative sulphur dixoide which may instigate asthma attacks. However they are a good source of iron and potassium.
Calories in Apricots:
