Description:

Prunes are dried plums. Prunes can be traced back to Roman times and for ages have been a popular northern European winter fruit since they could be stored for long periods with no ill effects. There are many varieties of plums but only those with the greatest flavor, sweetness, acid content and firmness are best suited for that use. The extra sugar and acid in the plums allow them to be dried without fermenting. Prunes have a bluish-black skin and a soft and flexible texture. Prunes can be eaten as is or used in both sweet and savory dishes. Plums are allowed to mature on the tree until fully ripe and then mechanically harvested. The Plums are then dried under strictly monitored conditions. Prunes are used in cooking both sweet and savory dishes.

They contain no sulfites but do have the pits intact.
