How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~240–250 kcal / 100 g (typical)
- Energy density
- 240–250 kcal / 100 g
- Basis
- Per 100 g — a weight. Applying it to a volume would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 g
- 240–250 kcal / 100 g × 30 g ÷ 100 = ≈ 72–75 kcal
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Sealed: months, per label. Opened: weeks airtight; hardening is a quality issue, mould means discard.
Storage: Airtight, cool, dark; refrigerate after opening in humid weather.
- Soaked and blended into apricot (qamar-el-din-style) coolers
- Khoshaf-style compote drinks
- Fig-and-milk smoothie blends
Bright-orange apricots stay orange thanks to sulphites, which can set off reactions in sensitive people — especially asthmatics; unsulphured fruit is brown and just as good. Concentrated fruit sugars: portion, don't graze.
