I just ate a few as a snack between meals, they are good for iron and fibre. Soaking them softens them nicely. Keep it to a small quantity since dry fruits are calorie dense.

Beta soak 2-3 apricots overnight in water and eat them in the morning, that is how we always had them. Soaking makes them easy to digest. A couple a day is plenty, dont eat a big handful.

I had to watch dry fruits because of my sugar levels, apricots are naturally sweet. If your sugar is normal a couple is fine, soaked is best. If you have any diabetes issue, please confirm the amount with your gynac.
