Dried plums (prunes) are extremely beneficial for strengthening the immune system, supporting heart health, and improving memory, thanks to their abundance of antioxidants, fiber, and essential nutrients.
A dried plum is not only a delicious treat but also a true treasure trove of health. Throughout history, this dried fruit has been valued for its nutritional content, healing properties, and unique flavor. From ancient civilizations to modern dietary trends, it has found its place in many dishes and diets.
Dried plum is naturally sweet and has:
• Fiber (whole gram per plum)
• Vitamins A, B, C and E
• Potassium
• Magnesium
• Iron
What dried plums don't have is also important:
• They don't have fats
• They don't have sodium
• They don't have cholesterol
Blood sugar
Despite the high content of carbohydrates and sweet taste, dry plums have a low glycemic index that can help those with diabetes.
Potassium
Dried plums contain potassium, which, together with sodium and chloride, helps maintain the proper electrical balance in the cells and body fluids, and regulates the nerves and muscles.
Cardiovascular health
Dry plums are full of phenolic compounds-the same class of potent antioxidants is found in berries, red wine and green tea-which prevent the oxidation of LDL (harmful) cholesterol, and can reduce the risk of heart disease.
