Prunes are known to relieve constipation and bloating and as an effective digestive aid. Moreover, prunes work as a special laxative and have many other wonderful health benefits as well. However, we advise you to consume them with moderation.
Dried prunes contain almost as much again vital vitamins as fresh ones: they contain almost twice as much vitamin A, almost ten times as much vitamin K, three to five times as much beta-carotene, six times as much lutein, and approximately the same amount of vitamin C.
Dried prunes are well known for numerous benefits to the digestive tract. They can help you if you have lost appetite or if you are constipated. Dried prunes contain pectin that can loosen the stool and helps bowel movement. If you suffer from these types of problems, you can soak five dried prunes in water before you go to sleep and the next morning, consume them together with water on an empty stomach.

Even though it can be hard to believe, dried figs represent a rich source of calcium, a mineral substance of vital importance for healthy bones. As much as a 100 g serving of dried figs provides 186 miligrams of calcium, whereas the same amount of milk provides only 119 miligrams. Figs are richer in minerals than in vitamins, though, as they contain potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and other. Considering they are fruit, figs are an extremely rich source of proteins, as they contain more than one precent of them. Of course, the highest amount of nutrients in figs is taken by sugars, which are natural and healthy.
Due to sugars, a serving of fresh figs constitutes a source of the purest energy which the body can soak up and use immediately.
Some other health benefits of dried figs are:
-Promoting metabolism;
-Helping in bowel movement and relieving constipation;
-Emptying urinary tract;
-Aiding in liver and gallbladder function;
-Working as a remedy for haemorrhoids;

At Marima Farm, we give our best in order to offer you the widest possible selection of quality dried fruit and olive oil. We produce the raw material for our products on our own by following the principles of organic farming, and we dry fruit in a dehydrator. Dried fruit, which we greatly appreciate for its sweet taste, high nutritional value, and long shelf life, is actually fruit from which the moisture was removed during the drying process. During the same process, fruit shrinks and it's mass reduces, but the concentration of nutrients increases (sugar content can increase even up to 70%). The history of dried fruits goes a long way back to the 4th century BC, but this kind of fruit remains widely used even nowadays. The most popular are the traditional forms od dried fruit such as dried plums, figs, apricots, apples, and pears. Kmetija Marima is EKO certificated from Maribor KON-CERT Institute

During the process of drying in the dehydrator, we always follow the rule that no fruit must be dried at a temperature higher than 50 °C, as by doing so, enzymes would be destroyed and the quantity of heat-sensitive vitamins would be decreased. It is also interesting to note that from 100 kg of fresh apples we obtain from 10 to 12 kg of dried slices; from the same amount of cherries, we get up to 25 kg of dried cherries, and some more than 30 kg of dried prunes from 100 kg of fresh ones. Concerning the increased aromatic value of dried fruit, the adage “less is more” definitely applies in this case! For storaging dried fruit, we also use the traditional preservation methods. The most appropriate are glass jars in which the content can be under control at all times. However, several months of storage in tightly closed metal or plastic containers would be poison for dried fruit.

We are all familiar with the fact that fruit is excellent for our health, it can reduce cancer risk and help us to lose weight. When we eat food containing plenty of quality nutrients our body senses that it has been well-nourished. Due to this, a hormone called leptin gives the body a signal that it no longer has to search for food. Moreover, fruit gives us energy we need for workout which of course also helps us to lose weight. Dried fruit is perfect for those who have a sweet tooth and would ordinarily reach for processed sweets. This is also the reason why dried fruit represents an excellent way out when we desperately start craving for sweets (a sign that our diet could go down the drain).

Even though fresh fruit is available to us in supermarkets year round, it is still highly recommended that now and then we treat ourselves to some dried fruit, which is a rich source of fiber, vitamins and minerals as well. We can enjoy nibbling dried fruit at any time, but the ideal period for it is in the colder parts of the year. It can be always kept on hand and we can use it as a snack or when we crave for something sweet. By that, we instantly get more energy, satisfy the sweet tooth craving (due to less moisture content the sweetness of dried fruit is even more intense), and we take care of a better digestion at the same time. It is known that dried fruit aids in digestion. Dried apples are especially known for detoxifying and keeping away harmful microorganisms. Nevertheless, dried prunes, figs an pears are irreplaceable as well. Dried prunes supposedly fight artherosclerosis and consequently vascular diseases as well. Dried apples help children suffering from asthma to relieve the pain, prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease, reduce cholesterol level, and help to reduce the risk of cancer development.
