Prunes & Plums
Wholesale supply for Prunes & Plums (dried plum ingredients) with consistent specifications, food safety documentation, and flexible formats for manufacturers and brands across the USA & Canada.
What we supply
Depending on your application and labeling needs, we can source prune (dried plum) and plum-based ingredients across a range of moisture levels, cut sizes, and processing styles. Provide your target specifications and we’ll match a suitable option.
- Prunes (dried plums): pitted whole, diced, sliced, and soft-moist styles.
- Prune-based ingredients: paste/purée concentrates, granules, and powders (availability depends on supply).
- Plum ingredients: dried plum pieces and specialty formats where available.
Common formats
The best format depends on your process (mixing, baking, extrusion, bars, fillings, beverages) and the texture you want in the finished product.
- Whole, pitted: classic prune format for retail packs, foodservice, and reprocessing.
- Sliced / strip-cut: for bakery inclusions, cereals, trail mixes, and snack blends.
- Diced: controlled particle size for bars, cookies, granola, and dairy inclusions.
- Bits / granules: smaller inclusion for even dispersion and reduced clumping.
- Paste / purée: for fillings, sauces, bakery binders, and clean-label sweetening.
- Powder: for dry blends and seasoning-style applications (subject to availability and processing constraints).
Need a specific cut size, sieve range, or moisture target? Tell us the spec and the application and we’ll align supply options.

Common applications
Prunes and plum ingredients are used for sweetness, moisture management, color development, and fruit character. Below are typical use cases—tell us your end product and we’ll recommend a practical format.

FAQ
What’s the difference between prunes and plums?
“Prunes” typically refers to dried plums used as an ingredient. “Plums” may refer to fresh fruit or dried plum ingredients depending on the format. If you have labeling requirements, share them and we’ll align the product naming and documentation accordingly.
Can you match a specific diced size or moisture level?
Often, yes—availability depends on origin and processor capability. Provide your target dice dimensions (e.g., mm/inch), moisture target, and whether you need anti-stick handling.
Do you support organic and kosher requests?
We can quote organic and conventional options where available, and provide kosher options when offered by the supply chain. Include certification needs in your RFQ for the most accurate options.
Can you help with documentation for vendor approval?
Yes. Share your documentation checklist (COA, spec, allergen statement, etc.) and your team’s preferred format, and we’ll provide what’s available for the product/origin you select.
How do I get the best price?
Pricing is typically driven by format, certification needs, volume, and pack configuration. If you can share an annual forecast and flexibility on pack sizes, we can usually provide stronger tiers.
