PRUNES
Description
Prunes are dried plums, specifically from certain sweet, firm-fleshed European plum varieties (like the ‘d’Agen’ plum) that are ideal for dehydration. They are known for their sweet, rich flavor, chewy texture, and high fiber content, which aids digestion, making them a popular remedy for constipation. Rich in vitamins (K, B6), minerals (potassium, copper, iron), and antioxidants, prunes offer benefits for bone health, heart health, and appetite control
