Prunes aren't something that we buy on a regular basis at our house so we were thrilled when we were given the opportunity to review Sunsweet Ones Prunes! Ella LOVES any kind of fruit so I was excited to introduce a new fruit to her. She was a little skeptical at first but after she took the first bite she quickly found out that enjoys Prunes just as much as any other fruit!
I love that the Sunsweet Ones come individually wrapped so they are easy to throw in my purse or a lunch box! Be sure to check out more great information at http://www.pop-a-prune.com/.
Sunsweet also partnered with Cheryl Forberg, registered dietitian and nutritionist for “The Biggest Loser” to create this online video on Super Fruit:
What makes a Prune SUPER:
Antioxidant rich. Prunes have a high antioxidant (ORAC) score. Antioxidants help to slow the oxidative damage to our bodies, and many researchers believe that antioxidants slow the aging process.
Potassium punch. Move over bananas! Ounce for ounce, prunes have more potassium than bananas. Studies have shown potassium helps prevent hypertension and stroke.
Low Glycemic Index (GI). Prunes are a low GI food, and therefore help to contribute to a low Glycemic Load diet and can aid in preventing and managing conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and obesity.
Heart health. Prunes can help play a role in preventing heart disease and chronic diseases because they’re rich in antioxidants, which slow the chemical process of oxidation and protect key cell components from damage.
Prebiotic power. Prunes naturally contain prebiotics, which stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the large intestine. This helps dietary fiber perform well and promotes immune system and digestive health.
