Newman's Own Organics California Pitted Prunes 6-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 12)

Good prunes. I have been getting a shipment every month on my subscribe and save for atleast three years, but I haven't had a package that hasn't had atleast one whole seed or chip of a seed in it. I use these to purée so now I have to put on my gloves and smosh each one to make sure I am not grinding seeds or chips of seeds. So beware if you are giving them to children or biting down hard.

Wow, I love these prunes. I even give them to a couple of my dogs who have anal gland issues or other lower gastronomical problems from time to time. These are FAR better than the ones you get at the store with additives like sulfur dioxide (food preservative) which are BAAAAAD for you, especially if you have athsma or some sulfite sensitivity/allergy.In Dec '13 I paid $34.75 for this (12 packs of 6 oz. each). In April I paid $37.60. Now we're close to Sept '14, and they're $43.47. I'm terrible at figuring percentages (math in general really; I know, it's embarrassing - thank God for calculators), but managed to find an online calculator to help me figure out what kind of increase we're talking about here, and keep in mind, that we're not even 3/4 of a year yet since I first started buying these. Brace yourself; it's a 25% increase since I bought my first case in December. TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT! In about 8 months. Ridiculous.Was it a bad year for plums??? I haven't been paying much attention to crop reports. Maybe prunes are in very high demand this year? I don't know. Anyhow, I did a little shopping around, and found that 12 oz. canisters in a pack of 12 (at that big blue store that starts with "W") were $69, which is .48/oz., as opposed to .60/oz. for this Amazon offer.Lastly, you can safely freeze these for a time to help them last longer since buying in bulk is so economical these days.

If you like your prunes moist, these are for you. I had been buying my dried organic plums from bulk bins at the grocery store and decided they were quite tasty in my morning oatmeal as well as being good for bone density. These are way more like what I've thought of a prunes, while the others seemed sweet as dates. Is one better than the other? Guess it depends on what you expect.

I liked the flavor and the texture but my husband didn't. He liked the flavor but called it mush because it was too soft and every time we ate it, we had to wash our hands afterwards because it kept falling apart. I will have to find another product because of it

these prunes are moderately moist and taste good. they are effective for "irregularity" problems. I take 4 or 5 chewed thoroughly for breakfast, then 3 more in the afternoon to solve this problem eliminating the use of laxatives. .

If you buy these regularly make sure you check out the subscribe and save price for the 12 ounce packages. A better value.

Only 4 stars as they are difficult to get out of the bag. Otherwise, the taste is good and they are organic.

Always fresh, tasty .....and effective. My old G I System loves them! Best part; Certified Organic and sweet is really natural. NO artificial sweeteners or HFCS added!
