Dried Plums — Silva

Dried plums contain considerably more important vitamins than fresh ones: almost twice as much vitamin A, nearly ten times as much vitamin K, three to five times as much beta-carotene, and six times as much lutein. The pectin they contain helps soften stools and supports digestion. A traditional recommendation is to soak five dried plums in water overnight and eat them in the morning on an empty stomach. Enjoy in moderation.
