Synopsis

Prunes are dried plums (Prunus domestica) known for their natural laxative effect, high fiber content, and antioxidant properties. Rich in sorbitol, polyphenols, and potassium, prunes support bowel regularity, bone health, and digestion. They are commonly used to relieve constipation and nourish the gut lining while also providing a mild, sustained energy source. Prunes also support heart and skin health through their free radical–fighting compounds.
