Prunes, which are essentially dried plums, are packed with important vitamins and minerals, such as potassium, vitamin A, magnesium and iron, and fibre. While it is common to think of the fibre in prunes as being responsible for their laxative effect, currently the exact substances remain unknown, since prune juice (which has less fibre) also promotes healthy bowel functions.

The Californian variety of prunes is an offshoot of the French d’Agen plum. The size of individual prunes varies with each growing season, but we always strive to offer a large-sized prune.

The pits are removed from whole prunes, making these a popular choice for chopping into baked goods or for soaking into a purée.
