It Pays to Plan Prune Purchases
Prior to Palatable Preparation
It pays to plan your purchase of dried prunes even
though they’re classed as an “impulse item” by the grocery
trade. Plan to buy this month and next while they’re a buy.
Look on the package to be sure you get the right size.
Decide beforehand how you’ll use prunes in family meals.
To sav time and make the most
of the current prune plenty, cook
enough at a time for several
meals and keep them ready in the
refrigerator. You can cook prunes
ahead with an easy conscience
because there’s practically no loss
of nutritive value from standing,
or reheating. Cooked prunes rate
well in iron, reheated or not, if
j ou use the liquid along with the
fruit
