If you’d like to keep your heart happy, you may want to consider munching on some prunes today...
Prunes, or dried plums if you prefer, are chock full of good stuff, including fiber, potassium and antioxidants. And researchers at the University of Minnesota say they’ve now found a chemical in dried prunes that could keep our arteries clear of plaque.
If you find it difficult to choke down chewy prunes in the whole - try chopping them up and sprinkling them into salads or on deserts. They’re also tasty and sweet and can add a nice texture to baked goods. It’s important to eat your prunes in moderation though. Eating too many will have a laxative effect on most people.
