What it is

Dried plums, commonly known as prunes, are plums that have been dehydrated. They are a good source of fiber and various nutrients. The dehydration process concentrates their natural sugars and nutrients.

Why it's used

Dried plums are often used as a natural sweetener and to add moisture and texture to baked goods, cereals, and snack bars. They are also frequently consumed on their own as a healthy snack.

Health notes

Dried plums are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a good source of dietary fiber, which can aid digestion. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dried plums, and EFSA has also reviewed prunes for health claims. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption may lead to digestive discomfort due to their fiber and sorbitol content.

Allergen info

Dried plums are not one of the major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
