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.

About dried apricots and fiber

A quarter cup of dried apricots provides 2.4 grams of fiber with a high soluble share. Drying concentrates the sorbitol too, which is why they are high FODMAP.

Frequently asked questions

How much fiber is in dried apricots?

1/4 cup of dried apricots, about 33 grams, contains 2.4 grams of dietary fiber. That is 7.3 grams of fiber per 100 grams and 9% of the 28 gram daily value.

Are dried apricots high in fiber?

Not especially. Dried Apricots have 2.4 g per serving, which ranks 23 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 dried apricots soluble or insoluble?

About 42% of the fiber in dried apricots is soluble (1 g) and 58% is insoluble (1.4 g). Soluble fiber forms a gel that slows digestion and feeds gut bacteria; insoluble fiber adds bulk and speeds transit.

How many servings of dried apricots would reach a daily fiber goal?

It would take about 11 servings to reach 25 g (the adequate intake for adult women) and 16 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.
