These medium-sized prunes are semi-dry and still contain their stones. They are produced from the Prunier d'Ente variety of plum and are known as "Agen Prunes".
Prunes are a great way to sweeten recipes and can act as a replacement/partial replacement for the butter/fat in recipes.
The moisture in these prunes is natural, and not added later. Some prunes are dried until they are rock-hard, but these are still around 25% moist. They are soft, and they slip away from the stone nicely (see bottom-right picture!)
Serving Suggestions
These prunes are ideal for eating on their own, or lightly dusted with cocoa powder!
They can also be used as an ingredient in your own home-made energy snacks! Remove the stones before squishing together with dates, banana, cacao powder, almond butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
