Prunes are dried plums, usually made from varieties with a naturally high sugar content that dry well without fermenting. They have a soft, chewy texture and a rich, sweet flavor with mild tart notes. Prunes can be eaten on their own or used in both sweet and savory dishes, including baked goods, compotes, sauces, stews, and meat dishes. They are also a good source of dietary fiber.
