Apricots are a popular yellow stone fruit that can be enjoyed both fresh and dried.

In addition to being an excellent source of calories, dried apricots are a good source of beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin — three plant pigments that support eye health.

Dried apricots make an excellent pick-me-up snack late in the afternoon and pair well with nuts and cheese, which can also help you gain weight, as they`re good sources of calories and fat.
