CHEFS & CO Soft Dried Prunes (pitted) | Whole Dried Fruits | Healthy Snack | Vegan & Vitamins Retained | Unsorbated | No Added Sugar (NATURAL, 380 g (Pack of 1))

I'm a cancer survivor, and the legacy it has left behind is that the bones in my lower back are not good. The muscles there have to do a lot of the work my spine should be doing. Consequently, I am interested in discovering what scientific studies have shown by way of strengthening bones. A University of Florida study has shown that eating ten prunes per day increases bone density. This was noticeable over a twelve month period. The control group in the study ate ten dried apples per day. My thoughts were: 'I guess I'll have to start liking prunes.' These were nicer than expected. Eating ten per day - in two lots of five - is going to be easier than I thought.

When I first received these, I was a bit disappointed, being used to soft and plump prunes. But they did look nicely different in that they are the biggest I have purchased. So my recipe is to take 150 g of prunes and add 50 g of hot water, let them sit overnight in a covered bowl, stirring to rehydrate every piece if necessary. The next day, I get juice prunes with the kind of subtle taste that I really like, so much so that I am subscribing to them! Now when soaking, I made the mistake of leaving them for 48 hours in a tightly-covered bowl. As these do not have preservatives, they end of getting moulds and I had to discard the batch. Sigh but I shall never make that mistake again. So all in all, I highly recommend this brand for its great taste, lack of preservatives, and possibly lower carbon footprint because they are so dy they use less fuel to transport in the first place! I think you will enjoy them, too.

It is the first time I have bought these prunes, and I am impressed! I agree they are not as sweet as the ones we can buy at the supermarket. On the plus side they are so lovely and big, and although they are not very soft (unless you soak them) they are soft enough to eat just as they are and they have a good flavour - and no additives. The big bag will last me quite a long time, and I will definitely be buying them again.

Brilliant product and can’t recommend them enough nourishing and full of fibre in a great package

Had these a few times ...they are the best ones to eat ...they taste great and are still juicy ....I have a few everyday on my breakfast 😘😋😆

Excellent product but if ordering more than 2 bags at a time they burst in paper bag delivery .. PLEASE send in box!

All as ordered

Hello, I am pleased with both the goods delivered and the excellent service. Thank you and best regards

Ho acquistato queste prugne morbide essiccate CHEFS & CO incuriosito dalla descrizione semplice e naturale del prodotto, e devo dire che sono rimasto molto soddisfatto. La confezione da 750g è pratica e generosa, ideale per chi come me consuma regolarmente frutta secca sia come snack salutare che come ingrediente in cucina. Aspetti positivi che ho riscontrato: ✅ Morbidezza perfetta: A differenza di tante prugne secche in commercio, queste non sono né dure né secche, ma morbide al punto giusto. Si masticano facilmente, senza bisogno di ammollarle. ✅ Gusto naturale e intenso: Il sapore è dolce ma non stucchevole, con un retrogusto tipico della prugna matura. Si sente chiaramente che non sono stati aggiunti zuccheri o aromi artificiali. ✅ Nessun additivo né conservante: Apprezzo molto il fatto che siano non sorbate e senza additivi chimici. Solo prugne, come dovrebbe essere. Ottimo per chi segue un'alimentazione sana e pulita. ✅ Adatte a tutti: Sono senza glutine e vegane, quindi perfette anche per chi ha intolleranze o segue diete specifiche. ✅ Ottima digeribilità: Le utilizzo spesso a colazione o come spuntino pomeridiano, e ho notato un miglioramento anche della regolarità intestinale, grazie all’elevato contenuto di fibre. Conclusione: Un prodotto davvero valido, naturale, gustoso e versatile. Lo consiglio a chiunque cerchi uno snack salutare o un ingrediente genuino per dolci, colazioni o piatti salati. Rapporto qualità/prezzo eccellente, soprattutto considerando la qualità delle prugne. Sicuramente lo riacquisterò!

Het is te proeven dat het een kwalitatieve product is.; heel anders dan wat je in winkels koopt, die zijn vaak gezoet en te vet. De gedroogde pruimen van CHEFS & CO zijn natuurlijk en voortreffelijk van smaak. 👌

ottimo prodotto, gustoso e ben conservato

Molto buone e gustose. Consiglio comunque di farle rinvenire in un pò di acqua prima di mangiarle, così che siano ancora più saporite. Dimensioni giuste.

Bons, moelleux....
