I can be eaten dried and still have a nutritional value
 

 

      Above all, plums and dried plums "prunes" are very nutritional for the body.  You receive the most antioxidants when consuming plums that are fully ripened.  Avoid plums that are excessively hard.  Good quality plums will be rich in color and have a slight whitish bloom.  Plums can be left at room temperature if they are not ripe.  Remove pits if you are putting them in the freezer.  If plums have been in the refrigerator, allow them to be at room temperature before eating.  Try to look for unsulphured dried prunes (no additives).
