Sunsweet prunes are a special variety of sun-ripened plums that have been dried to remove some of the water.

A variety with an exceptionally high sugar content, these "Improved French" variety of plums give Sunsweet prunes their distinctively delicious taste; rich and fruity with notes of creamy vanilla. Naturally sweet, there’s simply no need for any added sugar or sweeteners in our prunes.

The dried fruit contains similar levels of nutrients – such as fibre - to fresh plums, while offering you the added benefit of year-round availability and a long shelf life.  

For our growers, patience is a virtue that is richly rewarded. It can take up to six years for a prune plum tree to bear fruit. But, after that, it will fruit for some 30 years.
