Dried plums, commonly known as prunes, are a nutrient-dense snack derived from dehydrated plums, originally cultivated in Europe and Asia but now enjoyed worldwide. Rich in dietary fiber, they support digestive health and are often recommended for alleviating constipation. Prunes are also packed with vitamins and minerals, including potassium, vitamin K, and antioxidants like phenolic compounds, which may promote bone health and reduce inflammation. Their natural sugars provide energy, though they are best consumed in moderation due to their high calorie and sugar content. Frequently used in baking, sauces, and savory dishes, dried plums add a distinct sweetness to various cuisines. Their chewy texture and rich flavor make them a popular snack, while their health benefits contribute to their status as a functional food. Whether eaten alone or incorporated into meals, dried plums offer a flavorful and wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
