Prunes have a long-standing reputation for aiding digestion for good reason. They offer a powerful combination of insoluble fiber (for bulk) and soluble fiber, plus a natural sugar alcohol called sorbitol, which draws water into the colon. This duo makes them highly effective for promoting regularity. Enjoy a few prunes as a naturally sweet snack, chop them into oatmeal or trail mix, or even use prune puree as a fat substitute in baking.
