What are Prunes?


Prunes are the dried result of a plum. Surely, we all know the biggest benefit of prunes is regularity! Hallelujah for that! As we know, plums have impressive antioxidant properties, but when converted into prunes their antioxidant powers can increase by as much as 600 percent!

Some nutritional benefits of a prune are:

• Vitamins
Anthocyanins
• Minerals

Prunes can help with:

• Aging-related conditions
• Constipation

A recent study done at Oklahoma State University found that prunes can help reverse bone loss due to menopause. It suggested that dried plums can reverse a particular process of osteoporosis previously thought to be irreversible.
