Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Rima Rao, Member, NEC, IDA and Convenor, NetProFan Registered Dietician, Nutrition Consultant, and founder of Panacea “Prunes are nutrient-dense superfoods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like vitamin K, potassium, iron and boron. They support bone health, improve bone mineral density, and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women. Prunes also benefit gut health, offering both soluble and insoluble fiber that aids digestion and prevents constipation. Their high fiber content and sorbitol promote regular bowel movements, while their prebiotic effects support a healthy microbiome”.
“Additionally, prunes’ antioxidants help reduce inflammation and support overall health, making them a great addition to a balanced diet”, she added.
Speaking on the India market Mr. Sumit Saran, India Representative of Chilean prunes remarked. “Chile is known as one of the world’s largest growers and suppliers of prunes. Chilean prunes are recognized globally for their high quality. Just visit your dry fruit retailer or head to the grocery store and ask for Chilean prunes.”
