Osmotic Prunes Dried Halves, from Prunus domestica L., are dried plum halves that have undergone an osmotic dehydration process. This method involves partially removing water from fresh, ripe plums by soaking them in a natural fruit juice or low-sugar solution before drying, which helps preserve their flavour, texture, and nutrients more gently than traditional methods. Our osmotic dehydration involves immersion of the fruit tissue in aqueous solutions of high concentrations of concentrated apple juice. The prunes retain a soft, chewy consistency and a naturally sweet, rich, and mildly tart flavour without the addition of refined sugar or preservatives. These prunes are typically dark purple to black in colour, and their flesh becomes denser and stickier through drying. They can be enjoyed as a snack, added to cereals, salads, and baked goods, or rehydrated for use in compotes and sauces.

As a snack

Enjoy them straight from the pack for a naturally sweet, fibre-rich treat.

In cooking and baking

Chop and add to oatmeal, granola, muffins, or breads for moisture and sweetness. They also pair well with savory dishes like lamb or poultry stews, adding richness and depth.

In smoothies

Blend rehydrated prunes into smoothies to add natural sweetness, fibre, and energy without processed sugars.

With yogurt or cheese

They complement tangy dairy products well and can be served as part of a healthy snack or appetizer plate.
