Prunes, ready-to-eat, semi-dried, weighed with stones

Prunes are dried plums. These figures describe ready-to-eat, semi-dried prunes weighed with their stones. They mainly provide carbohydrate, including sugars, along with fibre and some minerals. Per 100g, they contain 31g of carbohydrate, 31g of sugars, 4.5g of fibre and 631µg of potassium.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Drying removes water from fruit, concentrating its sugars compared with fresh fruit. The sugar content is therefore worth noting for people monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake. These prunes contain little fat or salt. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
