Dried Apricot (100 G)

Reduce the portion: start with 1–2 dried apricot halves, eat slowly, and wait before having more.

Pair dried apricots with protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds.

Have them after a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables, protein, and healthy fats rather than eating them alone or on an empty stomach.

Choose fresh apricots when practical; their higher water content can make portions more filling with less concentrated sugar.

Avoid combining dried apricots with other rapidly absorbed carbohydrates, such as juice, sweetened drinks, candy, or refined baked goods.

Use your glucose response to identify a personal serving limit, and consider a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating them.
