Where Do Plums Come From?

The plum tree, which bears plum fruits, has been one of the first plants domesticated by our ancestors. People have been growing various varieties of plums all over the world for millennia and archeologists have found the pits that data back as far as 6000 years. Organic Dried Plums from Food To Live allow you to partake in the time-honored tradition of enjoying this incredible fruit in various sweet and savory dishes.

Over 40% of the dried plums available on the world market today come from California, where the climate is perfect for cultivating amazingly delicious plum species.

Are Dried Plums Prunes?

Don’t get confused when you see terms ‘dried plums’ and ‘prunes’. Those products are basically the same thing, so the terms are often used interchangeably. The trick here is that all types of dried plums used to be called prunes, and this name is still the most popular option in Europe and Asia.

However, it has fallen out of favor in the US, because marketing studies showed that a major group of consumers (women, age 25-54) has a subconscious negative reaction to the word. Therefore, the term ‘dried plum’ is the more common in America and it’s gradually winning the leading position in the world.

There is also a consideration of the plum species. There is a type of prune plum, which should reasonably be called a prune in either fresh or dried state. However, this distinction is mostly overlooked.

Considering this, you can safely use the product labeled ‘dried plums’ in any recipe that calls for prunes.

Are Organic Dried Plums Good For You?

Dried plums are extremely good for your general wellbeing as well as mood. They boost your health because they are rich in nutrients and especially antioxidants. They improve your mood because they are sweet and tasty. Eating a few plums as a midday snack is a good way to recharge your batteries with something as delicious as a candy but much healthier.

You also need to take into account the benefits of organic dried plums for vegans and vegetarians, as these people often have a need for extra iron. This fruit contains both iron and vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of the mineral.

How Are Dried Plums Made?

Dried plums are dehydrated like any other fruit, using a careful application of heat. The process is slow and will require the use of a top-quality dehydrator or an oven if you try to do this at home.

Dried Plum Baby Food: Is It Safe?

Dried plums make an excellent baby food because they are nutritious and might help avoid constipation, which often plagues babies who are just starting on their solids. Your precious child will get a variety of antioxidants and other health-boosting elements as well as a great deal of joy from snacking on a sweet dried plum fruit.

Bear in mind that you must give only pitted fruits to your baby to prevent choking and cyanide poisoning. Like with the majority of fruits, plum pits contain very small amounts of cyanides. An adult will be able to ignore this issue altogether if they accidentally swallow 1-2 pits. However, it’s a huge risk for a baby.

Remember that you shouldn’t give your little one any solids before they are at least 6 moths of age. Organic dried plum baby food is safe to give even before that as long as it’s mashed properly.

Can Dogs Have Dried Plums?

Dogs can have dried plums and get from them the same benefits as you do. However, you must take some safety considerations into account before giving this snack to your pet. First of all, you must never give the dog plum pits. Same as with your baby, pits are a choking hazard and despite it being minor, the content of cyanide in them is a valid health concern.

You also must understand that animals don’t have the same metabolism as humans. Sugar is more difficult for them to process and therefore more harmful to their health. Therefore, you should only give them very small amounts of naturally sweet foods. This means that your pet shouldn’t snack on more than 1-2 dried plums every few days.

Organic Dried Plums Calories: Dietary Considerations

When you think of snacking on dried plums, calories must be taken in consideration as all dried fruits are rather high in them. A cup of prunes has about 415 calories, which is too much for a healthy snack, especially if you are concerned with weight management.

However, 5-6 pitted plums give you a perfect balance of nutrients and energy. This amount of fruit contains about 100-120 calories, which is enough for a short boost of power that will keep you going until your next meal.

Dried Plums Nutrition: Fiber & Protein

Organic dried plums are a very good source of dietary fiber. A cup of the fruit gives you about 12.5 grams of the valuable substance that helps detoxing your body and supporting the digestive tract. Note that the fiber in dried plums has the power to relieve constipation and this fruit has been used for this specific purpose for centuries.

The protein content in dried plums isn’t particularly high with only about a gram of amino acids in 1.5 ounces of the fruit. However, due to their overall high nutritional value and pleasantly sweet taste, they can be included in your protein smoothies to make them more delicious.

Dried Plums Fruit: Vitamin & Mineral Breakdown

Organic dried plums are great as a snack or an addition to your cooking because they contain lots of essential vitamins and minerals, including:

  • ·       Potassium
  • ·       Copper
  • ·       Manganese
  • ·       Phosphorus
  • ·       Iron
  • ·       Calcium
  • ·       Vitamin K
  • ·       Vitamin A
  • ·       B vitamins

The majority of dried fruits lose a significant part of their nutritional value during the process of dehydration. However, dried plums contain a high level of nutrients despite those losses. For example, you need to eat as little as 5 plums to get 35% of the daily fill of vitamin K, 10% of potassium, and 7% of manganese and copper. These fruits also provide you with about 7% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin A, which is a potent antioxidant that benefits eyehealth.

The rest of the nutrients are present in smaller amounts, but they still make a valuable contribution to your daily intake of essential vitamins and minerals.

A dried plum organics yogurt of your own making will be not only delicious but also great for your digestion as the fiber in the fruit will complement the positive effects of probiotics from the yogurt.

Chutney Dried Plum Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

  • ·       ¾ cup dried plums (pitted and chopped)
  • ·       1 cup onions (chopped)
  • ·       2 apples (cored and chopped)
  • ·       2 pears (cored and chopped)
  • ·       1/3 cup raisins
  • ·       1 orange (juice and zest)
  • ·       ½ cup brown sugar
  • ·       2/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • ·       1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ·       2 tablespoons fresh ginger (grated)
  • ·       2 pinches saffron threads
  • ·       ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ·       Nutmeg to taste

Instructions:

1.     Heat up olive oil in a medium saucepan and cook the onions for a few minutes until they become soft.

2.     Add brown sugar, orange juice, and vinegar, stir thoroughly and let the onions simmer until all liquids evaporate. The substance will start to thicken because of the sugar so your onions will become caramelized.

3.     Add chopped apples and cook your chutney for about 5 minutes before adding pears.

4.     Toss dried plums and raisins into the pan and stir before covering it with a lid or parchment paper and cooking for 10 minutes at minimum heat. Do not stir the mixture during this time.

5.     Remove the pan from heat, open it and add spices and zest. Stir the chutney and let it cool before serving.

This delightful chutney dried plum sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days if you keep it in an airtight container. You can adjust its flavor however you like by adding other spices. This amount of ingredients will provide you with about 2 ½ cups of chutney, which has less than 2 grams of fat and only 150 calories. Therefore, you can eat it even when on a strict weight management diet. You can use it as a spread or dipping sauce to go with some wholegrain crackers or bread.

How to Store Organic Dried Plums from Food To Live

Due to their extremely low content of fats and high level of sugar, dried plums do not go bad, so you can store them for years. If the package is unopened and remains in the fridge, they won’t have an expiration date. You can also put the bag in your freezer but do not refreeze them, as this will ruin the texture of the dried plum fruit.

Bear in mind that despite the fact that they don’t spoil naturally, your dried plums can go bad if you don’t ensure their dryness. Humidity and bacteria breed mold, which will contaminate the fruits and make them a danger to yourself and your family.

All dried products must be stored dry, so keep your Food To Live Organic Dried Plums in an airtight container at all times.

You also should understand that nutrients in dried foods deteriorate with time. This is an unavoidable process that can be slowed down by keeping the product in the fridge. Never leave your dried plums in a hot place or under direct sunlight as this will speed up the chemical destruction of vitamins and minerals.
