I do love prunes and figs

Prunes are sorely under-appreciated in my opinion! I don’t eat them often, but my family has a tradition of making prune pierogi sautéed in an onion butter sauce for special occasions and it is an absolute sweet-savory delight. I look forward to them all year.

It’s not only the fibre in prunes that helps your digestion – the ‘sorbitol’ also acts as a laxative.

Prune juice is good too

I eat prunes every morning myself. In my defense, I am one of those old people.
