A prune is a dried plum, commonly derived from European varieties like the Damson or Italian plum. With roots in Western Asia and Europe, prunes are now enjoyed globally, often in baking, snacking, or as part of traditional dishes. Rich in dietary fiber, potassium, and natural sugars, prunes are renowned for supporting digestive health, particularly for relieving constipation due to their high sorbitol content and insoluble fiber. They also contain antioxidants, including phenolic compounds, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. While they provide natural energy and key nutrients, prunes are calorie-dense and contain concentrated sugars, so portion control is important to avoid spikes in blood sugar and excess calorie intake. Typically consumed as part of a balanced diet, one prune is a small yet nutrient-packed addition to your meals or snacks.
