CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEWCooking Prunes (dried)Prune ice-cream is popular in the Dominican republic. Prune pastries are popular in New York. Prune juice is sweet, thick, and cooling. Saladitos are dried, salted plums, sometimes sweetened with sugar and anise or coated in chile and lime. The name means 'little salty things.' Although a candy in Mexico, the recipe originates in China. There, the salted, dried plums are stuffed into orange or lemons, where the plum absorbs the juices of the sour fruit.
Ayurveda recommends soaking dried fruits before eating. Dried fruits are generally sweeter and harder to digest than fresh ones. They also absorb precious digestive juices. For example. one cup of fresh plums is equivalent to cup dried prunes. To reconstitute them, dried prunes must absorb at least 3 times their volume in water from the digestive tract. Gastric juices also have a harder time penetrating poorly chewed, dense dried fruits. For those with dry or otherwise weak digestion the sweetness of dried fruits quickly leads to fermentation, gas and bloating.
