Chilean Prunes: A Naturally Sweet Boost to Gut Health
New Delhi [India], July 1: Packed with flavour and bursting with health benefits. At just 100 calories per serving (approximately 4 to 5 prunes), they offer a naturally sweet treat with zero added sugar, making them a wholesome addition to any diet.
What makes Chilean prunes unique is their 100% natural sugar composition, primarily consisting of fructose and glucose, with minimal sucrose, making them an ideal snack for health-conscious consumers. Beyond their satisfying taste, prunes also contain sorbitol, a naturally occurring sweet compound that plays a vital role in supporting gut health.
Studies have shown that sorbitol creates an environment conducive to the growth of beneficial intestinal microorganisms, aiding in smoother digestion and overall digestive well-being.
Chile's unique geography bordered by the Atacama Desert, the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica, creates ideal climatic conditions for producing high-quality prunes. These prunes are grown with care and harvested to preserve their natural flavour, texture, and nutritional value.
'Naturally sweet with no added sugars, Chilean prunes offer a deliciously wholesome snacking option. Thanks to their high satiety value, they help promote a feeling of fullness, making them an excellent choice for those mindful of weight management,' said Kavita Devgan, renowned dietitian, holistic health consultant, and acclaimed author.
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.'
Whether enjoyed on their own, blended into smoothies, or added to sweet and savoury dishes, they are a versatile pantry staple that combines taste with nutrition.

'Healthcare, education now commercialised': RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat flags accessibility crisis; says common man struggles with costs
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat (ANI) NEW DELHI: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday expressed concerns over the increasing commercialisation of healthcare and education while speaking at an event in Indore. He said that both sectors, once considered acts of service, have now become unaffordable and inaccessible for the common man. 'Health and education are extremely important and were earlier considered as 'seva' (service), but now both are beyond the reach of common people. Both have been commercialised. They are neither affordable nor accessible,' Bhagwat said at an event in Indore. Citing personal experience, Bhagwat recalled, 'when I was a child, I had malaria and missed school for three days. My teacher came home, and brought jungle herbs for my treatment. He was concerned that the student who came to him should stay healthy. Society needs accessible and affordable healthcare.' Referring specifically to cancer care, he said, good cancer care is currently available in only 8-10 Indian cities, and stressed the need for healthcare that does not become a source of anxiety for patients. 'We need low-cost, easily accessible medical care. Treatment should not turn into a cause of worry,' he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo Bhagwat also said that Western medical research cannot be uniformly applied across the world due to regional and individual differences. 'Someone may benefit from naturopathy, others from homeopathy, no single way can be supreme. Indian medical systems treat based on personal needs,' he noted. On the education front, he pointed out that students still have to travel long distances for quality education, just as patients do for advanced healthcare.
