Italian plums, also known as European or prune plums, are small, oval fruits with deep purple skin and sweet, golden flesh. Originating from Europe, they are commonly used in baking, jams, and dried as prunes. Rich in essential nutrients, Italian plums are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, which support immune function, heart health, and digestion. They are naturally low in calories and free from fat, making them a nutritious snack or ingredient. Their high antioxidant content, including phenolic compounds, helps combat oxidative stress, which may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. However, dried prunes concentrate sugar and carbohydrates, so portion control is key for those monitoring their sugar intake. Perfectly balancing sweetness and tanginess, Italian plums are a delightful addition to both savory and sweet cuisine while offering numerous health benefits.
