Ode to the Prune
"Ode to the Prune"...A Love Story (snicker!)
Okay, let's try this again....but let's be serious for once.
And now, I introduce to you, the humble prune.
So maligned, yet so misunderstood. Full of polyphenols that encourage bone growth, strength, and density. Rich in flavinoids that reduce inflammation and thus could keep your arteries clear. Loads of vitamins A, B complex, C, and E. Let's not forget, loads of fiber.
And yet, we kick the prune to the side, pushed off our plates for something more stylish. And why? Is it because we associate the dried plum with constipated seniors? Is it because the prune, being shrivelled and dry, is not attractive? Do we just not understand the fruit? Is it all the above? I don't know, but I think we should all take a closer look at the prune.
Hmmmmmm....tasty!
