Recipes with prunes

Thanks to their dietary fiber, prunes are a healthy snack and support the gastrointestinal tract as well as digestion by binding water in the body and thus digesting it faster. We have put together savory and sweet recipes with this healthy fruit for you.

Little Sattmacher

They look unspectacular, but they have it all: prunes are full of dietary fiber .
Just 100 g (approx. 10 pieces) cover a quarter of the daily requirement and really fill you up.
They also score with their vitamin and mineral content. Vitamin K, the often “forgotten” vitamin, supports bone formation. We need potassium for our muscles to function. Vitamin B6 and copper strengthen our immune system . Most prunes come from California. Here they have plenty of sun to ripen. After the harvest in August, they are washed and gently dried in the oven for 18 hours. They are then briefly steamed with water to keep them plump and juicy and are carefully pitted to preserve all theTolfioow substances. They will keep for about three months.
On the following pages you will find our delicious and healthy recipes.
