Prunes

Nutritional Benefits

Prunes are a special type of dried plum. Their delicious sweet taste is the result of a type of  ‘sugar’ called sorbitol. Fortunately for us, our digestive enzymes are unable to absorb this sugar. This is why sorbitol can be safely used to sweeten diet or diabetic treats.

General Attributes:

  • High in energy 
  • Made without the addition of Sulphur Dioxide. 
  • Sorbitol changes the way your gut functions – influencing the motility of your digestive tract. 
  • Prunes are generally regarded as a LOW GI food.
