Prunes, flesh and skin, stewed without sugar

Prunes are dried plums. The figures here describe their flesh and skin stewed in water without added sugar. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 20g per 100g, all of which is sugar. Per 100g, they also provide 1.4g of protein and 440µg of potassium, with an energy content of 346 kJ.

Although no sugar is added during stewing, prunes contain naturally occurring sugars, which are worth noting when monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. The amount of water used in cooking affects how concentrated the nutrients are, so these values apply to the preparation described. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
