Started eating prunes a year ago. Have a few with meals and a couple before I go to sleep. 2lb bag is about $10 . I’m age 64 so it’s a great source of fiber.

I try to have one every night before bed.
As a kid, I liked them fresh out of the dehydrator. Benefit working at a prune dehydrator.

Reminder, not to eat too many,

Yeah, I eat one once in a while. Good for me.

The occasional pack rats out here try to eat them too, but the pack rats die - because prunes are great bait in the traps.

Was Beavis and butthead that were fishing for old people with prunes on a hook? Seemed funny at the time.

Yup, I have loved eating them since I was a kid. Now that I am a big kid , I still eat them. One of my favorite fruits. Strangely enough I, do not like plums?

I bet if a company could make a Werthers Original flavored prune they'd take over the whole market.

Loved prunes since I was a kid. You definitely have to figure out your personal tolerance level. My wife mixes them in with softened vanilla ice cream then re-freezes, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Also, watch out as the pitted variety may not be.

I use prunes as a sweetener base to make cholate candy. Ingredients are prunes, dates, butter, unsweetened cholate, toasted walnuts and toasted oats.

Today's oats contain a herbicide similar to Roundup.

That's certainly a concern. Lots of grains have the same issue. I have just about quit eating oats because of it. That candy is a rare treat.

I like prunes but can't remember the last time I ate one.
