Pitted prunes are dried plums with the pit (seed) removed. They are typically small and oval-shaped, with a wrinkled, chewy texture and a sweet, slightly tart flavor. Pitted prunes are often used in baking and cooking, as they add moisture and a natural sweetness to dishes. They can also be eaten on their own as a healthy snack. Some people believe that consuming prunes can have health benefits, such as aiding in digestion and preventing constipation.
