Dried Apricots is 53g of sugar, wrapped in 7.3g of fiber per 100g. That's what makes it not soda.

The fiber slows absorption; the sugar is not "free sugar" the way added sugar is. Whole fruit and juice are different foods nutritionally, even at the same sugar number.

The chef's caveat

Ripeness matters

A greener dried apricots has more starch and less sugar; a spotty one is the reverse. Total calories barely move, but if you are tracking blood sugar or fiber-vs-sugar ratio, ripeness is a real variable — not a rounding error.
