YUM PLUMS!
Plums are delicious and nutritious, as plums or prunes (dried plums). Prunes are most commonly known for their natural laxative properties, but they boast a host of other nutritional benefits. Interestingly, the dried ones are a european varietal and the fresh eaten ones are a japanese varietal. Plums are a great source of vitamin A, potassium and phosphorus. Prunes, meanwhile, have even higher amounts of each of these vitamins as well as polyphenols which it is believed to help increase bone density. Prunes are also great cholesterol reducers while preventing cardiovascular disease. Plums are believed to help prevent cancer, like most foods high in fiber and vitamin A.
