Prunes & Plums: Are They Good for You?

June 7, 2022 By Paul Leave a Comment

When it comes to prunes and plums, they’re technially the same fruit but one of them is dried while the other isn’t. A plum is known as a stone fruit because it has a single hard pit that feels like a stone. A prune is very simply a dried up plum and because of this they tend to be more sweet but also don’t have as strong of a flavor. Finally, there are many different types of plums but the two most common forms are European and Japanese.

  • Plums are members of the rose family and are a stone fruit because they have a single pit that is hard like a stone.
  • Plums and prunes aren’t technically the same thing because a prune is a dried plum. Not all plums become prunes.
  • Prune plumes are sweeter than regular plums but they also don’t have as strong or as robust of a flavor.
