Pitted Prunes (Dried Plums), Unsweetened, Soft-Dried
California Prunes Worth Keeping in the Pantry
These are soft dried prunes from California, pitted, with no sugar added. The texture is chewy and yielding. The flavor is deep, jammy, and naturally sweet from d'Agen plums concentrated through slow-drying rather than sweetened after the fact.
Pits are already removed. The bag is resealable. They're ready to eat, bake with, or cook into savory dishes without any prep.
A genuinely versatile fiber-rich dried fruit that earns its place as a baking pantry staple and everyday snack. Sizes run from 8 oz to 5 lb. Free shipping on every order.
Prunes or Dried Plums? Here Is the Difference
Same fruit. Two names.
Prunes is the traditional culinary term used in French, Moroccan, and European cooking for centuries. Dried plums is the modern American label introduced in 2000. The product underneath is identical: slow-dried d'Agen plum varieties, pitted and shelf-stable.
Both names appear in recipes interchangeably. These work for either.
What These Soft Dried Prunes Taste Like
D'Agen plums have a naturally high sugar content that concentrates during slow-drying without any additions. What comes through is a dark, jammy sweetness with a slightly tangy finish. Richer and more complex than raisins. Softer and less cloying than medjool dates.
The texture is soft and dense. Chewy enough to satisfy on its own. Firm enough to hold up when chopped into baked goods without dissolving into the batter.
Per one ounce (four to five prunes): 67 calories, 2 grams of fiber, 14 grams of natural fruit sugar. Nothing added.
Unsweetened Prunes for Baking and Snacking
Baking
Chopped unsweetened prunes fold into sticky toffee pudding, spice cakes, oatmeal cookies, and fruitcakes. Blended into a smooth prune puree, they work as a moisture base in muffin and cake batters. The depth of flavor they contribute is something raisins cannot replicate.
Savory Cooking
Classic French lapin aux pruneaux and beef daube both build around prunes as a balancing element against rich, gamey meats. Moroccan tagines follow the same sweet-savory logic. Pork stuffings, duck glazes, and holiday roast preparations all use prunes as a natural sweetener in savory contexts.
Cheese Boards and Charcuterie
Whole pitted prunes sit cleanly on a board alongside aged goat cheese, blue cheese, pâté, prosciutto, and cured meats. A pairing with deep roots in French and Spanish table traditions.
Everyday Snacking and Breakfast
Eat them as a shelf-stable snack straight from the resealable bag. Chop into overnight oats, bircher muesli, or yogurt. Mix into homemade trail mix alongside walnuts, almonds, and pumpkin seeds.
How to Use Soft Dried Prunes in the Kitchen
Prune puree blends in seconds. Add four to five soft dried prunes to a blender with a splash of warm water and process until smooth. Use in cake batters, muffin bases, and spice breads as a flavor and moisture base. The puree keeps refrigerated for up to a week.
Whole prunes rehydrate quickly in warm water, juice, or wine for savory sauces and glazes. Chopped, they fold into grain salads, stuffings, and cheese boards without any soaking required.
