Prunes, flesh and skin, weighed with stones

Prunes are dried plums. This entry describes their flesh and skin, with the weight of the stones included in the figures per 100g. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 32g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar. The supplied data also list 720mg of potassium and 2.4mg of iron per 100g.

Potassium helps nerves and muscles work normally, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Dried fruit contains concentrated sugars because much of its water has been removed, which is worth noting when monitoring sugar intake. The full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
