Are prune plums good for you?

Question

I've heard the dried version is good for you but is it as good for you when it's just a fruit before it's dried out. I just bought some yesterday so I was just wondering. Thanks.

Answer 1

Yup..its got loads of fiber and antioxidants and is great if ur like me..not a big fan of dried fruits. I think they r too sweet. Still prefer the original juicy fruit.

Answer 2

Prunes are also sweet and juicy and contain several antioxidants.

Dried plums are known as prunes. Prune marketers in the United States have, in recent years, begun marketing their product as "dried plums", because "prune" has negative connotations connected with elderly people suffering from constipation.
