Prune Juice Concentrate (16 oz)

Prune in your everyday routine

A measured prune drink after a meal can be a straightforward daily habit. Use one tablespoon and choose the water amount that tastes right to you. Midday or evening is a matter of preference, so fit the routine around a meal you already enjoy.

Keep recipe use flexible. A little concentrate in oats or a shared sauce contributes flavor, while the portion depends on the dish. Use the label for the concentrate serving and the recipe for how much to add.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as ready-to-drink prune juice?

It is a concentrate at approximately 70° Brix. Add water for a drink or use a measured amount in food. This gives you control over the finished strength rather than a fixed ready-to-drink mixture.

Can I substitute it for whole prunes?

Not directly. Concentrate adds liquid prune flavor but does not supply the same pieces, texture or bulk as whole prunes. Use a recipe appropriate to the ingredient, especially in baking where liquid balance affects the result.

Why does this product say 70° Brix?

That is the concentration specification for this prune product. Brix describes soluble solids used to characterize juice strength; it is not a serving size or a direct measurement of vitamins, fiber or a health effect.

How many labeled servings are in the bottle?

About 32 servings of 1 tablespoon. A stronger drink made with 1 fl oz concentrate uses two labeled servings. At the 1:7 mixing ratio, the bottle makes sixteen 8 fl oz drinks, totaling one gallon.

What are easy food uses?

Try a measured amount in oats, a yogurt smoothie, a sauce or a dressing. Cinnamon and ginger are useful flavor partners. Start with a small batch and taste, rather than replacing a recipe’s other ingredients one for one.

Is sugar or another juice added?

No. The only ingredient is 100% prune juice concentrate. It contains naturally occurring fruit sugars, so “no added sugar” does not mean sugar-free. Anything added to a finished recipe changes that recipe’s ingredients.

When should I use my daily serving?

Use one labeled serving daily after a meal. Midday or evening is your preference. For a drink, dilute the concentrate to taste; the amount used in a shared recipe is divided among that recipe’s portions.

How should I store it?

FruitFast keeps the bottle refrigerated until shipment; normal shipping does not require cold packs. Refrigerate or freeze on arrival and keep refrigerated after opening. For best quality, use within about six months and follow the label. See our concentrate storage guide.

Will this flavor always be available?

It is a limited-release product, so availability can change between production runs. Check the product’s current purchase options and current limited releases rather than relying on a promised restock date.

Who Prune concentrate is for

• People who enjoy deep prune and dried-plum flavor.
• Customers who want to measure and dilute their own drink.
• Smoothie and breakfast-dish makers.
• Cooks exploring dark-fruit flavor in sauces or dressings.

Choose the flavor you enjoy and adjust the dilution to your preference. This is a concentrate for mixing or food use, with portions you measure yourself.

Prune research and fruit compounds

Prunes and plums are studied for phenolic compounds and other food constituents. The form matters: whole dried prunes, juice and concentrate differ in texture and composition. A study of whole prunes should not be treated as a fiber measurement or a demonstrated effect of this concentrate. The guides below provide a useful introduction to the fruit’s chemistry.

Explore phenolic acids, polyphenols, potassium, or browse the Fruit Compound Library.

Research findings depend on the food or preparation studied, the amount used and the outcome measured. These educational links are not a finished-product assay or a promise of a particular health result.

Serving and mixing

Daily routine: one labeled serving after a meal. Choose midday or evening to suit your preference.

Labeled serving: 1 Tbsp (0.5 fl oz / approximately 15 mL). The 16 fl oz bottle contains about 32 labeled servings.

Shake before measuring. For an 8 fl oz lighter drink, mix 1 Tbsp (0.5 fl oz) concentrate with 7½ fl oz water. A classic 1:7 drink uses 2 Tbsp (1 fl oz) concentrate plus 7 fl oz water and contains two labeled servings.

For food, use the recipe amount rather than assuming each portion equals a labeled serving. See the mixing and reconstitution guide for more mixing context.

Ways to use Prune concentrate

Simple prune drink, one glass

Stir 1 tablespoon concentrate into 7½ fl oz cold water for an 8 fl oz drink. Adjust with more water if desired. Enjoy after a meal as a measured drink; this amount contains one labeled tablespoon serving.

Prune-cinnamon oats, one bowl

Stir 1 tablespoon concentrate and a pinch of cinnamon into ¾ cup cooked oatmeal. Add milk or water if needed for the texture you prefer. Top with chopped nuts and taste before adding other sweet ingredients.

Prune yogurt smoothie, one glass

Blend 1 tablespoon concentrate with ½ cup plain yogurt, ½ cup milk or a milk alternative and a few ice cubes. Add a pinch of ginger or cinnamon if desired. The whole smoothie contains one tablespoon concentrate.

Prune-mustard sauce, a shared batch

Whisk 1 tablespoon concentrate with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon water. Spoon a little over cooked vegetables or cooked meat. The whole sauce batch contains one labeled serving of Prune concentrate.

These are starting ideas to adjust to your taste. Explore the flavor partners above or browse current limited releases for other combinations.
