Prune

Our customers use prunes (dried plums) because of their natural sweetness, functional benefits, and strong association with digestive health. Prunes are rich in fiber and sorbitol, which makes them effective for supporting gut health and allows manufacturers to promote digestive wellness claims. Their soft, sticky texture makes them useful as a natural binding agent and moisture retainer in products like baked goods, snack bars, and cereals. Prunes also help enhance sweetness, reducing the need for added sugars. Additionally, they contain antioxidants and essential nutrients, supporting health-focused positioning. Their dried form provides a long shelf life and ease of storage, making them practical for large-scale production and consistent use in food formulations.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.

The Sun Dried Treat

Prunes are dried plums, typically made from specific varieties of plums that have a high sugar content and firm flesh. The drying process removes most of the water from the fruit, resulting in a smaller, darker, and more concentrated product. Prunes have a wrinkled appearance and a soft, chewy texture. They have been produced and consumed for centuries and are commonly associated with regions that cultivate plums, such as parts of Europe and the United States. Because they are dried, prunes have a much longer shelf life than fresh plums and can be stored for extended periods.
