Summary
Pitted prunes are a natural source of dietary fiber and nutrients, offering digestive health benefits and natural sweetness. However, the inclusion of potassium sorbate as a preservative indicates a level of processing that detracts from the product's overall healthiness. While the prunes themselves are beneficial, the presence of a synthetic preservative limits the score due to increased processing.
