DRIED PRUNES

HS Code: 0813.20

Experts and true connoisseurs of high-quality prunes prefer to use fruits that are dried entirely with a stone since this way much more useful substances are preserved than in pitted and then dried plums.

The production of pitted dried fruits is considered a relatively young industry, and it is believed that this is just a treat, while fruit dried with a bone is real medicine.

The advantage of such prunes is that the raw material is necessarily plums of large size, ripe and without flaws. In addition, the fruits are minimally machined, which helps to preserve their integrity and, of course, taste.

The field of application of prunes is extremely wide. It is added to muesli, crunches, and energy bars. Manufacturers of snack products pack it in small bags that are easy to take with you. Cooks and confectioners use prunes for making cookies, pies, cakes, desserts and cakes, compotes and other beverages. This dried fruit is an excellent ingredient for sauces, soups, and salads, and also goes well with meat, fish, and rice.
