Shown here are plums. The prune is a dried plum. The remarks about plums also apply to plums except that plums have more water.
Plums have a lot of strengths. They have fiber, vitamin C, and water. They are low in fat, sodium, and protein. This makes them good for hypertension (high blood pressure) and for the PKU diet. They are not fattening because of the water, the fiber, and the fructose. The fructose causes a slow rise in blood glucose. They taste good. They are also good for constipation.
All things considered, I give them an "A". They are economical. Pomegranates are more expensive, but also valuable because they both have polyphenols. In the future I will probably deal with vegetables and grains because I have written about fruits extensively.
