The split is approximate and comes from USDA SR Legacy analyses where available. Soluble fiber dissolves into a gel and is the type most linked to cholesterol and blood sugar effects. Insoluble fiber adds bulk and keeps things moving.

Nobody should get all their fiber from one food. Gut bacteria respond to variety, and the fiber calculator shows a mixed day that reaches your number.

Frequently asked questions

How much fiber is in apricots?
2 fresh of apricots, about 70 grams, contains 1.4 grams of dietary fiber. That is 2 grams of fiber per 100 grams and 5% of the 28 gram daily value.
Are apricots high in fiber?
Not especially. Apricots have 1.4 g per serving, which ranks 34 of 39 fruits in the FiberUp database. It still counts toward plant diversity, but the fiber in a meal will come from elsewhere.
Is the fiber in apricots soluble or insoluble?
About 43% of the fiber in apricots is soluble (0.6 g) and 57% is insoluble (0.8 g). Soluble fiber forms a gel that slows digestion and feeds gut bacteria; insoluble fiber adds bulk and speeds transit.
How many servings of apricots would reach a daily fiber goal?
It would take about 18 servings to reach 25 g (the adequate intake for adult women) and 28 servings to reach 38 g (adult men). Spreading fiber across several foods is easier and better for gut bacteria diversity.

Values are per typical serving from USDA FoodData Central and standard references, rounded to one decimal. Actual fiber varies with variety, ripeness, and preparation. This is general nutrition information, not medical advice.
