Dried plums make for one of nature’s most potent laxatives due to their high amount of sorbitol. As a result, prunes are an old traditional medicine for constipation and other digestion issues. This fruit offers a high sugar high at a very low-calorie amount (only 30 per piece), which makes them a great addition to any diet.
The phytonutrients called phenols that are present in most superfoods are present in prunes as well. This ingredient is what gives them the high antioxidant ranking. A high amount of soluble fibers are also present in this fruit; they are responsible for making you feel much fuller after a meal. In turn, this prevents overeating and improves weight-associated conditions.
