About Prunes, dehydrated (low-moisture), uncooked
The European plum (Prunus domestica) is a sweet, juicy stone fruit with smooth skin in shades of purple, blue, red, or golden, and firm, honeyed, amber flesh. This is the type best known for drying into prunes, and it tends to be denser, sweeter, and less watery than the round Japanese plum, which makes it ideal for baking, canning, and preserves; the small, deep-blue Italian prune plum is a classic example.
Plums are low in calories and provide fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and antioxidants, while their dried form, prunes, is well known for supporting healthy digestion. They are delicious eaten fresh out of hand, baked into tarts, cakes, and cobblers, simmered into jam and plum butter, roasted to deepen their sweetness, and even distilled into brandy such as slivovitz. Choose plums that yield slightly to gentle pressure and smell fragrant at the stem end, ripen firm fruit at room temperature in a paper bag, then refrigerate them and enjoy within a few days at their juicy best.
