What are prunes ? A prune is a dried plum, from the European plum (Prunus domestica). Not all plum species or varieties can be dried into prunes. A prune is the firm-fleshed fruit (plum) of Prunus domestica varieties that have a high soluble solids content that does not ferment during drying. Turkey’s unique and diverse geography creates the perfect growing conditions for prunes.
