Why are natural prunes valuable?

From prunes concentrated fruit form: during drying, a significant proportion of the water content is removed, while the plum's fibres, natural sugars, organic acids, minerals and plant accompanying substances remain in a more concentrated form.

Plums naturally contain dietary fibre, including water-soluble fibres. Prunes have long been a well-known fruit in the field of dietary support for digestion and intestinal function due to their fibre content, fruit acids and natural sorbitol content.

100 g of prunes per day contribute to normal intestinal function. Fibre, natural sorbitol and fruit acids combine to give prunes their distinctive dietary role.

Organic quality - controlled raw material, cleaner growing background

A organic prunes is made from ingredients from controlled organic farming. Organic farming has stricter rules on plant protection, soil management, fertiliser use and the whole production process.

Dried fruit is a concentrated form: the water content of the fruit decreases and the dry matter content increases. For this reason, the quality of the raw material is particularly important. Organic production means controlled origin, more transparent production and less intensive agricultural intervention.

In the case of non-organic, large-scale fruit, intensive pesticide treatment, selection of raw materials optimised for uniform size and appearance, followed by sulphur dioxide treatment or sugar syrup sweetening during processing may be more common. In contrast, natural organic dried fruit has a simpler composition and a more natural fruit character.

Prunes without added sugar

This product contains no added sugar. Its sweetness comes exclusively from the natural sugar content of the plums. This is a significant difference compared to large-scale industrial prunes treated with sugar syrup or with added sugar.

In sweetened industrial dried fruit, sugar may be added to the natural sugar content of the fruit. This adds unnecessary sweetness, can overwhelm the fruit's own tart-sweet taste, and makes the product more of a sugary confection than a natural fruit-based food.

The natural prunes give a more characterful, fruity, deeper flavour. It is not defined by a sugar coating, sugar syrup treatment or artificially standardised texture, but by the prunes themselves.

Sulphur dioxide-free prunes - without sulphite treatment

Often used in large-scale drying sulphur dioxide or sulphites to preserve colour, slow down browning and improve shelf life. Sulphur dioxide treatment can give a more spectacular, uniform appearance, but it adds an additive.

Sulphur dioxide and sulphites can cause unpleasant reactions in sensitive people, which is why many consumers consciously avoid sulphite dried fruit. A sulphur dioxide-free prunes provides a simpler composition and better preserves the originality of the natural dried fruit.

This organic prune is not a product with a sulphur treatment, a sugar coating or a preservative, but with selected Hungarian plums, seeds and traditional wood-fired oven drying.

Natural organic dried fruit versus sweetened industrial dried fruit

There are several important differences between natural organic dried fruit and industrial dried fruit with added sugar and sulphur dioxide. These are reflected in the composition, taste, quality of the raw material and the way it is processed.

• Natural organic prunes: is made from controlled organic ingredients, without added sugar, sulphur dioxide or preservatives.
• Sweetened large-scale industrial drying: often treated with sugar syrup or added sugar, which can overpower the natural flavour of the fruit.
• Desalination without sulphur dioxide: is made without sulphite treatment, with a simpler composition.
• Sulphur dioxide desalination: may be more spectacular in colour, but contains additives that may be problematic for sensitive people.
• Traditional drying: results in a more characterful, natural fruit flavour and a less industrial texture.
• Large-scale processing: is often optimised for uniform appearance, long shelf life, fast processing and low-cost production.
