Prune Paste Applications

Culinary

This paste is mild in flavor and chewy with a subtle, caramelized accent. Its firm texture allows it to be ground or diced while its neutral flavor allows it to pair well with a wide range of flavor profiles.

More Culinary Applications

Meat / Poultry

When ground and mixed into meat, this paste can help bind moisture, lower sodium, and stave off lipid oxidation. The paste is best for darker-colored sausages, such as Italian sausage, and it can be ground, mixed, or emulsified with the other ingredients.

More Meat / Poultry Applications

Bakery / Bars

This paste is lower in sugar than pastes made with date, raisin, or fig. It can be blended with these pastes or used on its own in bars. It is slightly tacky to the touch, but not sticky.
