dried plum
Wrinkled purple snack
A dried plum is a prune—the same fruit, rebranded.
The term emerged in the early 2000s when the prune industry sought to escape the fruit's association with elderly digestive health.
Dried plums now appears on packaging and in recipes where prunes once did, though both names remain in use.
