Yes, prunes are a good source of potassium. A serving of prunes can provide about 290 milligrams of potassium, which is important for maintaining healthy blood pressure and proper muscle function. Additionally, prunes offer other beneficial nutrients and dietary fiber, making them a healthy snack option.

Eating dried prunes from 2010 could potentially make you ill, as food products typically have a shelf life and may spoil or lose quality over time. If the prunes have been stored improperly or show signs of mold, off smells, or unusual texture, it's best to avoid consuming them. While dried fruits can last for years if stored correctly, it's always safer to check for any signs of spoilage before eating.

Relief from constipation after eating prunes can typically occur within a few hours to a day. Prunes are high in fiber and contain sorbitol, a natural laxative, which helps stimulate bowel movements. Individual responses may vary, so some people might experience relief sooner or later depending on their digestive system.

Pitted prunes can typically be stored in the refrigerator for about 6 to 12 months.

If you eat dried prunes you'll be getting much more fiber than you will if you eat a fresh plum. Prunes will almost certainly help with constipation, and while plums may offer some vitamins and nutrients. They do not necessarily make you go to the toilet

While I wouldn't say it is guaranteed, eating 20 prunes is a lot! They have about 11% of your daily fiber requirement so, 20 would be 220%. I used to eat one prune in the morning and one prune at night until I had diarrhea like twice a day. Cut the prunes out, cut out the runs! :)

I hope they are because I've been eating them for a while. I like the taste. I just crack open the shell with my teeth and eat away!

*** in addition to the well-written and informational response above (please wikipedia at least before answering):

As with many other members of the rose family, plum seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides, including amygdalin.[5] These substances are capable of decomposing into a sugar molecule and hydrogen cyanide gas. While plum seeds are not the most toxic within the rose family (that dubious honor going to the bitter almond), large doses of these chemicals from any source are hazardous to human health.

Prunes and all fruit, can spoil depending on a variety of conditions which include:

1. High levels of humidity contribute to the growth of molds and bacteria, even on dried fruits.

2. If the fruit wasn't thoroughly dried.

3. If the fruit wasn't treating with a preservative as part of the drying process.

If you live in a humid area and your fruit has not been treated with anything, it is recommended that you store the prunes in the refrigerator.

Consumption of too many prunes will result in loose stools or diarrhea.

Prunes can actually be dangerous to a dogs health.

Just like grapes, raisins, and plums; prunes contain a toxin that can damage the kidneys.

Prune juice however is not a cause for concern. Just don't give it to your dog in excess. A few drops of unweetened prune juice mixed with water is really healthy for your dog every once in a while, especially if it has bowel problems.

For a more effective solution to constipation in a dog. You should boil some rice and give it small vegetables. Dogs do not digest vegetables very easily, so make sure you chop them well.I don't think you should give it in a can either.
