Prunes are dried plums known for their natural digestive benefits due to high fiber and sorbitol content. They're also exceptionally rich in vitamin K and potassium, making them valuable for bone and heart health.
Most studies show benefits from 4-5 prunes (about 40g) daily. Start with fewer and increase gradually to allow your digestive system to adjust. The combination of fiber and sorbitol is what provides the digestive benefits.
Research suggests prunes may help prevent bone loss, particularly in postmenopausal women. The vitamin K, potassium, and phenolic compounds in prunes appear to support bone density when consumed regularly.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Refrigerate for extended storage up to 1 year. Keep away from moisture to prevent clumping.
