About Sunsweet Ingredients

All of Sunsweet’s prune plums are farmed, harvested, and processed using the proprietary technology and experience of Sunsweet Growers. Prune plums are distinguished from common table plums by their naturally high levels of sorbitol, antioxidants, and acidity. When our fresh prune plums are dried, they yield a rich, tangy caramel flavor. We turn these prunes into versatile ingredients that can be used in a variety of recipes and food products.

Headquartered in Yuba City, California, Sunsweet has evolved into a global company with wide international distribution of our branded retail products and dispersed production operations in California, Chile, and Argentina. Even after 100 years in business, the core of Sunsweet’s mission has always been the same: to provide consumers great eating experiences and good health. The practices of our growers ensure the best flavor, nutrient levels, and consistency in the industry.
