Prunes: California Sunshine in Every Bite (How We Make Dried Plums/Prunes)

How does a plum become a prune? California Prune farmers talk about what it takes to turn a ripe, sweet plum into delicious California Prunes, or as you might know them, prunes. It all starts with the perfect growing conditions that California's mild climate provides. As plum trees become laden with fruit, our farmers harvest it at the right time. They are then rushed from the orchard to be washed and put into drying tunnels, where they soon become yummy California Prunes after a short curing period. If you haven't tried a dried plum lately, you're missing out!
