The Perfect Healthy Treat
Dried Prunes (Sukha Aloo Bukhara) are a delightful and nutritious snack, perfect for anyone seeking a healthy, vegan, and gluten-free option with no added sugar. These prunes come from specific plum varieties intended for drying, ensuring a deep red-brown color, chewy texture, and savory-sweet flavor. Our prunes are meticulously sun-dried to achieve ideal sweetness, making them an organic and wholesome treat.
Versatile in the Kitchen
Dried Prunes (Sukha Aloo Bukhara) are incredibly versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. In baked goods, whole dried plums add moisture and sweetness to cakes, scones, and breads.
Chopped prunes can be incorporated into homemade energy bars, muffins, and cupcakes for a delicious fruity flavor. When it comes to side dishes, organic prunes can be chopped and added to rice, couscous, quinoa, and other grain dishes to enhance flavor and texture. For an easy and exquisite appetizer, wrap pitted prunes in prosciutto and bake for several minutes.
Prunes also pair exceptionally well with meat dishes. Their sweet flavor complements the smoky taste of turkey, pork, chicken, and duck. Marinating and roasting your choice of meat with prunes helps retain moisture and lends a natural sweetness.
Long Shelf Life and Health Benefits
Unlike fresh plums, prunes have a long shelf life. They can last in your pantry for about six months and remain edible for up to a year when stored in the fridge in a sealed container. Dried plums are among the dehydrated fruits with the greatest antioxidant power. They are rich in potassium, fiber, and fatty acids, making them highly recommended for treating hypertension and constipation, promoting intestinal regulation.
Dehydration Process
Our prunes undergo a meticulous dehydration process, either through sun drying or industrial methods like ovens. After drying, they are selected, washed, and sometimes pitted, depending on consumer preference. This careful process ensures that you receive only the best quality prunes.
