Dried Prunes

Dried prunes, also known as dried plums, are sweet, chewy fruits made by dehydrating ripe plums. They have a dark purple to black color, a soft, sticky texture, and a rich, caramel-like sweetness with mild tart notes. Because the water content is removed, prunes become nutrient-dense, offering a natural source of dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants.

They are widely known for supporting digestive health, thanks to their natural sorbitol and fiber content. Dried prunes are commonly enjoyed as a snack, added to baked goods or cereals, or used in savory dishes like stews and braised meats.
