For centuries, chefs have added prunes to braised meat and served spiced prunes with pâté. Prunes are also popular in desserts, whether soaked in brandy or dipped in chocolate. Our prune ingredients allow you to leverage the flavors of prunes even further by incorporating prune concentrates, purees, and powders into recipes.

Use these ingredients to:

  • Blend with spices
  • Glaze proteins or vegetables
  • Add richness
  • Lower sugar and salt
  • Enhance browning
