Plums, dried (prunes), uncooked

Prunes are dried plums; drying removes most of the water, so per 100 g this record reports 240 kcal, 63.9 g of carbohydrate with 38.1 g of sugars and 7.1 g of fiber (25% of the Daily Value), with 31% water. One pitted prune of 9.5 g has 23 kcal, 3.6 g of sugars and 0.7 g of fiber; a cup of pitted prunes, 174 g, has 418 kcal, 66 g of sugars and 12.4 g of fiber.

Per 100 g prunes carry 732 mg of potassium (16% of the Daily Value), 59.5 µg of vitamin K, 41 mg of magnesium (10%) and 148 µg of lutein and zeaxanthin. The record reports total sugars only; sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, which prunes are known to contain, are not part of this dataset. The 2023 Foundation record linked below re-analysed prunes with sample data.
