Prunes are plums that have been dehydrated for preservation purposes. Sometimes called dried plums, prunes are deep red-brown with a chewy texture and a savory-sweet flavor.
Unlike fresh plums, prunes can last in your pantry for about six months. When stored in the fridge in a sealed container, they remain edible for up to a year
Prunes are also rich in potassium, a mineral that helps your muscles, nerves, and heart function properly. Eating four to five prunes gives you about 280 mg of potassium or around 12% of your daily recommended intake.
Prophet Muhammad S.A.W is quoted as saying: “When one of you is fasting, he should break his fast with dates…. Abu Dawood 975
Let’s welcome and break our fast with dates. Not just any dates but relish these cleaned premium dates air flown from Saudi Arabia in the comfort of your house. Having dates for Suhur also revives a Sunnah.
