Prunes are not only a tasty and convenient snack for office fruit fans, but they may also be the ticket to better health, according to Expressbuzz.
The dried plums have a "delectable flavour" and are "naturally sweet, chewy morsels of goodness", the news provider says.
"Prunes are natural, tender, full of flavour and energy: a treat for the palate with nutritional qualities that meet every requirement for a healthy, balanced and tasty diet," it continues.
Not only are prunes fat-free and low in calories and so perfect for snacking on, they contain high levels of fibre so are great for the digestive system.
As well as this, the fruits have beneficial qualities for the skin, preventing aging and promoting general healthiness.
They have a high mineral and vitamin content and have also been shown to help prevent the detrimental effects of the menopause on bone density as they contain potassium and boron.
