Dry prunes, apart from the pleasant and sweet taste they offer, have some properties that make them very important for health.
They offer vitamins and minerals, but also a number of bioactive natural ingredients that improve the body’s ability to defend itself against oxidative stress.
They are also one of the most effective ways to treat Constipation. 100g of dry prunes (10-12 prunes) contain about 7g of fibre, which provides 30% of the recommended daily intake.
Dry prunes are a rich source of antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin A (plays an important role in vision and skin health) and vitamin C (essential vitamin for tissue repair and collagen production).
In addition to vitamins, dried plums also contain significant amounts of minerals and trace elements: iron, copper, selenium and significant amounts of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure.
Finally, dried plums are a fruit with a low glycaemic index, which means that after consumption, blood sugar (glucose) levels do not rise sharply. As a consequence, they help to induce the feeling of satiety and maintain it for a longer period of time.
