Prunes

Don’t let the outdated reputation of prunes deter you—prunes are simply dried plums, and that’s it! When dried, plums turn into a naturally sweet, slightly chewy treat with a deep, caramel-like taste and a hint of tartness, perfect for both snacking and cooking.

Prunes are also high in antioxidants and fiber, which help support digestion and keep you feeling full longer. That said, if you’ve been avoiding prunes, there’s no better time than now to give them a chance.

I keep a bag of prunes in my pantry so that I always have a wholesome, nutrient-dense ingredient ready to go. Check back soon for more baked goods, energy bites, bars, and even savory dishes like tagines and glazes for meats that might just make you a prune fan!
