Learn MoreAt Sunsweet, we have more than a century’s worth of experience growing prunes. In 1917, a group of farmers founded the California Prune and Apricot Growers Association, which evolved into the grower-owned cooperative known today as “Sunsweet.” Even after after 100 years in business, Sunsweet’s mission has always been the same: to provide great eating experiences and good health.
Our versatile line of ingredients make it easy to incorporate prunes into food products.

This sweet and mildly tangy concentrate helps reduce sugar, fat, and sodium in sauces, bakery items, and bars.
Available either diced or whole/pitted, prunes are higher in fiber and lower in sugar than raisins, dates, and cranberries.
This tangy puree is excellent in baking for binding and fat and sugar reduction. It also helps bind moisture in sausages.
This hygroscopic powder is slightly tacky to the touch and can be used for color enhancement, moisture binding, and purge absorption.
These bits are free-flowing, low in water content, and pleasantly sweet. They can be used as an inclusion or hydrated and used as a mild puree.
