Production & Sourcing
Dried pitted prunes begin with ripe plums, which are carefully harvested and sorted. The pits are removed, and the plums undergo a dehydration process, typically through sun-drying or low-temperature drying methods. During drying, excess moisture is removed, concentrating the natural sugars and flavors within the fruit while preserving its chewy texture.
