  A prune is a dried plum, most commonly from the European plum.
•  Not all plum species or varieties can be dried into prunes.
•  A prune is the firm-fleshed fruit of Prunus domestica varieties that have a high soluble solids content, and does not ferment during drying.

• Prunes are a good source of: 

  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin K
  • Iron
  • Manganese
  • Copper
  • Vitamin B6

  Prunes are also rich in potassium, a mineral that helps your muscles, nerves, and heart function properly. Eating four to five prunes gives you about 280 mg of potassium or around 12% of your daily recommended intake.

• runes are a good source of both insoluble and soluble fiber. Insoluble fiber helps keep your bowel movements regular, while soluble fiber helps to moderate digestion and absorb nutrients from your food. Dried plums also contain sorbitol and chlorogenic acid, which can increase stool frequency.

  Eating a serving or two of prunes can help you maintain gastrointestinal health through promoting regular bowel movements.

• Eating too many prunes and other dried fruits, like raisins and figs, can lead to or worsen diarrhea due to their high fiber and sorbitol content. Both can have a laxative effect on the body.

• Consuming 20 grams or more of sorbitol could result in severe cramping.

Bowel function

• The most well-known benefit of prunes is their laxative effect.

• A second cup 30 minutes to 1 hour after a heavy meal may also be beneficial.

• Controlling appetite

• Preventing high blood pressure

• Protecting bone strength

• Preserving liver health

• According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)Trusted Source, one cup of prune juice, equal to 256 grams (g), contains:

  • 2.6 g of dietary fiber
  • 31 milligrams (mg) of calcium
  • 64 mg of phosphorus
  • 8.7 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin K
  • 207.97 g of water
  • no cholesterol or trans fats

  Prunes are also a source of some important nutrients, includingTrusted Source:

  • vitamin A
  • B vitamins
  • magnesium
  • zinc
  • phosphorus
  • iron

  Prunes are high in potassium too, so they can help maintain a good potassium-to-sodium ratio. This balance is essential for keeping cardiovascular issues at bay.

  The process of drying a plum into a prune increases the amount of fiber in the fruit. About 60 percent of the fiber in prunes is soluble.

  Risks

• Excessive sugar in the diet can reduce overall health, increase the risk of diabetes, and reverse the beneficial effects that prune juice has on blood pressure.

• However, prunes may offer additional health benefits, such as lowering the risk of hypertension and aiding weight loss by increasing satiety.

  People can enjoy prunes as a sweet snack or add them to a range of dishes.
