Is Dried apricot Low FODMAP?
Dried apricot is high FODMAP — only servings up to 5 g test low. It's best avoided during the elimination phase.
Serving thresholds
| Serving | FODMAP level | Data quality |
|---|---|---|
| 5 g · dried | Low | Lab-tested |
| 4 halves (28 g) · dried | High | Lab-tested |
Thresholds are per sitting. FODMAP load stacks across a meal — two “low” servings of different foods can still add up.
Which FODMAPs are in dried apricot?
During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating dried apricot depends on your personal threshold for Polyols, not on the food itself.
Good to know
Drying concentrates apricot’s sorbitol — a couple of pieces are already high.

- Peer-reviewed paper: Varney J et al. (2017) FODMAPs: food composition, defining cutoff values and international application. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 32(S1):53–61.
Phase derives serving thresholds from published research and food-composition data so every number is auditable.
