What it is
This is a bottled fruit juice made from dried plums, commonly known as prunes. The process involves rehydrating the prunes and extracting their liquid. The resulting juice has a deep, rich color and a naturally sweet flavor with a distinct fruity tang. It is a shelf-stable beverage, ready to drink straight from the container.
