Prunes are often noted for their help in keeping things moving, but the Prune is more than just a regular fruit! Containing fiber, potassium and vitamin K, Prunes have been shown to promote cardiovascular health, help maintain normal cholesterol levels, and even encourage bone health! In traditional folk medicine, Prunes were often used to promote good digestion, nutrition, and liver health. 

Besides being tasty, Prunes also offer a slew of nutritional benefits. 

They are a good source of dietary fiber and a very good source of vitamin K. Studies have shown that intake of dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber like that found in Prunes, may significantly promote cardiovascular health.

Prunes also have been found to be helpful in maintaining bone health, which may be partly attributable to the trace mineral boron present in Prunes.

Other research has shown Prunes to be helpful in maintaining normal cholesterol levels, as well as promoting healthy bowel movements.

Prunes have a high ORAC rating, indicating a possible antioxidant potential.

Prunes are the dried fruit of the common plum (Prunus domestica), as well as other freestone plum cultivars, although the term can refer to the fresh fruit as well. 

The Prune tree is deciduous, producing delicate white blossoms in the springtime. The round, waxy-looking fruits ripen in the heat of summer. Most of these fruits are rushed to the dryers upon ripening, to ensure high quality and freshness. Ripe Prunes can be as large as 8 centimeters across, and are often a deep reddish-purple hue, though they can vary in color. Each Prune tree can produce up to **0 pounds of sweet fruit in a season. 

Prunes are usually sold as dried or fresh fruit, or as Prune juice. 

California is the world's largest producer of Prunes, making up ninety-nine percent of the US supply and sixty percent of the world supply of these sticky and sweet fruits.
