A dried fruit outstanding to just be enjoyed for its soft texture, chewing, and rich taste, the prune has excellent micronutrient diversity. It s rich in both prebiotic (soluble viscous) and insoluble dietary fiber (including lignans), protein, vitamins, and several essential minerals. Prunes are notable for having a low glycemic load and so are recommended for suppressing appetite.

Quintiles of energy-adjusted dietary glycemic load... 

Fig. 4. Evidence that dietary glycemic load may affect insulin resistance and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) through a proinflammatory process that results in increased production of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) [from Liu etal. (35), reproduced with permission]. The levels of hs-CRP (adjusted geometric means) are plotted for quintile groups of women with increasing energy-adjusted dietary glycemic loads. Data are shown for women with a body mass index (BMI) < 25 (filled squares) and for women with BMI > 25 (filled circles).

The glycemic load (GL) was introduced to take into account the quantity of food consumed. This value refers to the glycemic total load of a portion of food consumed. Results are to be found on the Internet. The consumer, especially diabetics, should favour carbohydrate-containing foods with a low GL value.
