Frequently Asked Questions About Soaked dried apricots
Do soaked dried apricots help with constipation?
They may help because dried apricots contain fiber and naturally occurring sorbitol, which can support bowel movements. Eat them with enough fluid; they are not a treatment for persistent constipation.
Does soaking dried apricots reduce their sugar?
No, soaking does not remove all the fruit’s sugar. Some may dissolve into the soaking water, so discarding the water can reduce what you consume slightly, but the apricots remain sweet.
How do you soak dried apricots?
Rinse the dried apricots, cover them with drinking water in a clean container, and leave them until soft. This simple rehydration makes a minimally processed fruit softer without requiring added sugar.
Should you drink the water used to soak dried apricots?
Yes, you can drink it if you used clean drinking water and the apricots were rinsed. Some of the fruit’s sweetness and flavor moves into the water, so it is not sugar-free.
Do soaked dried apricots need to be refrigerated?
Yes, refrigerate soaked dried apricots in a covered container, either in their soaking water or drained. Don’t leave them sitting at room temperature for extended periods, and discard them if they smell sour or feel slimy.
Are soaked dried apricots healthier than fresh apricots?
Neither is automatically healthier. Soaking softens dried apricots but does not turn them into fresh fruit; fresh apricots are juicier, while dried apricots have a more concentrated sweetness.
Can people with diabetes eat soaked dried apricots?
Yes, but their natural sugars are concentrated by drying, even after soaking. The effect on blood glucose varies, so anyone managing diabetes should ask their clinician or dietitian how to fit them into their eating plan.
Can you use soaked dried apricots in baking?
Yes, drained soaked dried apricots work well chopped into cakes, breads, and oatmeal bakes. Their soft texture blends into batters more easily than that of unsoaked fruit, and their sweetness can flavor a recipe.
Can you freeze soaked dried apricots?
Yes, drain them and freeze them in an airtight container. They may become softer after thawing, so they are especially useful afterward in smoothies, porridge, or cooked dishes rather than as a firm snack.
Do you have to peel soaked dried apricots before eating them?
No, you do not need to peel them. The skin softens along with the fruit during soaking, so simply rinse the apricots first and remove the pit if one is present.

What is Soaked dried apricots?
Soaked dried apricots are dried apricots left in water until they become plump and tender. The soaking is a simple way to soften the fruit rather than a separate dish with a single regional origin. You can eat them at breakfast or as a snack, or add them to porridge, yoghurt and other dishes where a little fruit sweetness is welcome.
They have a soft, juicy texture and a concentrated sweet-tart apricot flavour. They provide fibre and are very low in fat, while their carbohydrates reflect the natural sugars concentrated during drying. For a lighter serving, enjoy a few without adding syrup or other sweeteners; the soaking water can also be used in a smoothie or porridge.
