Prunes Gain Popularity in India as a Natural Option for Gut HealthPreviousNext

With rising summer temperatures and irregular eating habits causing digestive discomfort, prunes (dried plums) are gaining popularity in India for gut health. Rich in fiber and naturally sweet, prunes may improve intestinal transit and reduce bloating, according to a Food Function journal study. Dietitian Kavita Devgan highlights their traditional use for constipation relief. India imports prunes mainly from Chile, known for its ideal growing conditions and high-quality produce, making prunes a convenient, nutritious option for digestive wellness.
