UNDERSTANDING PRUNES
Know the product.
Choose for your application.
Product & processing
Prunes are dried plums, commonly from European plum cultivars such as d’Agen. Drying, pitting and any later conditioning determine texture and handling. Pitted and unpitted fruit should be specified separately, particularly for automated food production.
Food industry applications
Whole prunes suit snacks and confectionery; cut fruit suits bars and bakery. Puree can contribute sweetness and moisture in fillings, sauces and recipes where the functional behaviour should be tested in the finished formulation.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Pitted / unpitted | Confirm the required form and controls for residual stones or fragments. |
| Texture | Agree moisture and softness for snacking, chopping or mixing. |
| Coating | Confirm whether oil or other ingredients are used. |
| Size | Ask for the supplier’s count basis and whether sizing is before or after pitting. The product guide does not give a numeric size chart. |
| Bulk / retail | Bulk cartons and blocks are distinct from small pouches, trays and tubs; confirm net weight and format. |
Formats and pack sizes are reference options, subject to supplier confirmation. Agree the specification, tolerances and documentation for the offered lot before purchase.
Which details matter for prunes in a production line?
State pitted or unpitted, size/count basis, moisture, texture, surface treatment and required controls for stone fragments. These details influence cutting, dosing and mixing behaviour.
