organic Prune Powder

What is Organic Prune Powder?

Organic Prune Powder is made from freeze-dried whole Prunus domestica plums, retaining skin, flesh, and pits. We also supply Organic Prune Juice Powder, a spray-dried concentrate from cold-pressed juice. Both deliver natural sorbitol (≥15%), dietary fiber, and phenolic compounds for digestive wellness, metabolic support, and clean-label formulation.
