Prune
Another definition of the word prune has to do with a kind of fruit which is found in nature.
Prunes are usually dark, purple-colored fruits which are very sweet. Prunes are really a type of dried plum. Some people like them fresh and soft, while others prefer them a bit on what is called the "dry side" or dried prunes.
Prunes are rich in calcium, iron, and potassium, and they contain a chemical known as dihydroxyphenyl isatin which stimulates your bowels.
