Prunes, ready-to-eat, semi-dried

Prunes are dried plums; the figures here describe ready-to-eat, semi-dried prunes, including soft and partially rehydrated products. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 37g per 100g, all of which is sugars. They also provide 5.2g of fibre and 734µg of potassium per 100g, with an energy content of 633 kJ.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Drying removes water from fruit, concentrating its sugars, so the amount eaten is relevant for people monitoring sugar or energy intake. These prunes contain little fat, saturated fat or salt.
