Prunes
Explore Dry Fruits
Prunes, or dried plums (Prunus domestica), are an essential global dried fruit commodity highly valued for their nutritional benefits, dense fiber structure, and long-term storage stability. Aba Impex partners with top-tier plum orchards that employ mechanical harvesting and gentle tunnel-dehydration techniques. This modern process ensures the plums retain their soft, moist texture and rich, glossy dark appearance without scorching or skin tearing. Our processing facilities utilize advanced pits-away technology to remove internal pits cleanly, minimizing fruit tearing or fragmentation. Each lot is carefully graded for size (count per pound) and moisture levels to find the perfect balance between a tender texture and long-term shelf stability. Backed by our strict microbiological testing and light application of protective food-grade sorbates when needed, our prunes enter international markets free from fermentation or surface mold, ready for health-focused retail packaging and industrial ingredient processing.
