Prune puree is a versatile and healthy ingredient that has gained popularity in modern cooking, especially in baking. Its origin dates back to European culinary traditions, where prunes are used to sweeten and moisten various preparations. In Latin America, although it is not as common as in other regions, it has begun to be adopted in homemade and commercial recipes. In countries like Mexico, it is simply known as "prune puree," and in Argentina and Chile, it is also appreciated as a natural substitute for fats and sugars in the preparation of desserts and breads.
Thanks to its sweet flavor and smooth texture, prune puree is a healthy alternative to replace butter, margarine, or oil in different recipes, providing moisture and a fruity touch without the need to add refined sugar. Its sustainable and nutritious use makes it ideal for those looking for more natural options without sacrificing flavor or texture.
