About Plums, dried (prunes), uncooked

Prunes are dried plums — soft, dark and chewy, with a deep, almost caramelized sweetness. Long saddled with an old-fashioned image, they've been quietly rebranded as 'dried plums', but by either name they're one of the most useful dried fruits in the cupboard.

They're best known for digestion, and for good reason: prunes are very high in fiber and contain natural sorbitol, both of which help keep things moving. Beyond that they're rich in potassium, supply vitamin K and antioxidants, and — as a dried fruit — are concentrated in sugar and calories.

Eaten on their own, stewed, or blended into baking (where they add moisture and can replace some fat or sugar), prunes are a genuinely functional sweet — best enjoyed in sensible amounts.
