When do prunes ripen in China? Are they cooling or warming in nature, and how many is it good to eat per day

The prune is not a native product of our country; it was introduced from California in the United States. Prunes are fragrant and sweet, with a smooth texture, and are a fine food for the healthy diet of modern people. Prunes can not only be eaten as a snack, but can also be used in cooking. The prune originated in southwestern France, which is the hometown of the prune.

Prunes generally ripen from mid-to-late July to mid-September. But in China it is different, because of reasons such as the places where they are grown and the varieties, the ripening period of prunes in our country is from April to September. Isn't that especially long? Friends who like eating prunes can generally enjoy them at most times.

Prunes are a cooling-natured fruit; prune juice is very suitable for eating in the hot summer and has the effect of clearing heat and preventing heatstroke. Therefore, people with a cold constitution and women during menstruation are not suited to eating them. Moreover, the nutritional value of prunes is especially high; eating three medium-sized prunes is equivalent to eating the fiber content of one fresh fruit. Even though prunes are high in nutritional value, they should not be eaten in large amounts; three a day is enough, and eating too many will cause diarrhea.
