Dried Apricots Include Loads of Fiber
Just one serving of our dried Apricot has 4 grams of fibre or 16 per cent of your recommended daily value. Toss them on top of a salad, and you will have a quarter of your daily needs taken care of.
Fibre is a vital part of any well-balanced diet. It ensures your digestive tract runs with regularity, cleaning out the impurities in your body. When you eat a diet high in fibre, you also naturally regulate your weight and may even reduce your cholesterol levels.
Dried Apricots Are Low in Calories
If you usually hit the vending machine for a snack at work, you are much better off eating a handful of dried apricots. A single serving of our Turkish apricots contains 120 calories, about half the number in your average candy bar or bag of potato chips. Plus, although they are low in calories, they contain so much fibre and nutrients, you won’t feel hungry again for hours.
Dried Apricots Contain High Levels of Nutrients
Dried apricots have calcium, which strengthens your bones and preserves nerve function. They also include magnesium. Do you suffer from anxiety? Magnesium has calming qualities that can assist anyone who feels anxious or stressed. It can also aid with muscle spasms and cramps, in addition to providing relief for insomnia. If you have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, have a few dried apricots, which also provide energy.
With their deep orange or brown colour, depending on what variety you purchase, dried apricots are also rich in vitamin A. This essential building block has a number of important benefits, including:
- Encourages cell growth
- Builds up the immune system
- Maintains good vision
- Keeps bones healthy
- Assists in reproduction
