Prunes, dried plums, are a nutrient-dense fruit with origins tracing back to Europe and the Middle East, where they’ve been cultivated for thousands of years. Popular in both sweet and savory dishes, prunes are integral to cuisines such as Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. They are rich in fiber, which supports healthy digestion, and contain antioxidants like vitamin K and potassium that promote bone and heart health. Prunes are naturally sweet, making them a healthy alternative to processed sugars in recipes. Their sorbitol content can also aid in relieving constipation. While prunes are low in fat and have no added sugars, their natural sugar content means they should be consumed in moderation for those monitoring their carbohydrate intake. Versatile and satisfying, prunes offer a combination of essential nutrients and a rich, caramel-like flavor that makes them a favorite snack and cooking ingredient worldwide.
