 Here are the CORRECT nutritional values Jul 06, 2011
By A Texas reviewer
There are already plenty of reviews stating how wonderful these apricots are so I won't bother to add my rave review to the others. Instead I would like to correct the nutritional facts since once again Amazon has gotten them wrong.
Here is the info taken straight from the actual product label (July 2011):
Serving size 1/4 cup (40g)
Calories per serving 100
Servings per container about 11
Total Fat 0g
Saturated Fat 0g
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 0mg
Sodium 15mg
Potassium 390mg
Total Carbs 23g
Dietary Fiber 3g
Sugars 21g
Protein 1g
Vitamin A 10% of Daily values based on a 2000 calorie diet
Vitamin C 2% of Daily values based on a 2000 calorie diet
Calcium 4% of Daily values based on a 2000 calorie diet
Iron 6% of Daily values based on a 2000 calorie diet
I hope you find this helpful.

Sweet, healthy and just the right amount of tangy aftertaste Jan 03, 2007
By Matthew G. Sherwin
Sun Maid makes their Mediterranean Apricots to perfection. Tangy yet sweet, these dried apricots provide a rather healthy snack. As Amazon correctly notes, just 1.5 ounces of these beauties makes for a serving of fruit; and fruit is a critical component for a healthy diet.
The canister is indeed recloseable and although they need no refrigeration you can certainly keep these in the fridge within their canister.
Besides eating them straight out of the container, these apricots help to make a good fruit salad and they fit the bill for any recipe that requires apricots.
The plusses don't end there. These apricots have no fat and no cholesterol; the amount of sodium they contain per serving is so low--15mg--that they have almost no salt. They provide potassium and dietary fiber as well. Each serving has only 100 calories so they are useful for persons who watch their weight.
Unfortunately, however, these dried apricots don't provide any meaningful amount of vitamins. Although Amazon states that they provide antioxidants, I see very little evidence of that on the nutrition label. Yes, a single serving has 10% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin A; but that's it in the antioxidants department--unless you choose to count the 2% of vitamin C that they offer. I have to take off one star for the discrepancy regarding antioxidants; that will make this a four star review.
Overall, these Mediterranean Apricots by Sun Maid offer an excellent alternative to junk foods and candy. They make a healthy snack food and they are useful for recipes as well.
ENJOY!!!

These are grea! Sep 12, 2010
By Phillip A. Bumb
The Sun Maid apricots have a good flavor. Unlike some other apricots, they don't have a sour, or bitter taste. The container is easy to use for someone who has a disability, such as myself.

Great Value! Mar 25, 2011
By Leo McNamara
I ordered these apricots having been dismayed with paying the inflated prices at my local health food store. I am VERY satisfied with the tastiness and texture of these apricots. They're more moist and have a better texture than anything that I've purchased locally. Combined with the fact that they were quickly delivered right to my door, these are an outstanding value. Much cheaper than my local purchases.

Still a little cheaper at local grocery Dec 26, 2010
By RobertC

Glad to see they're including or I'm noticing a per oz. price at amazon.com now. Doing the math - local Chicago grocery - still beats them - $0.18 oz price.
