Alphabe Thursday - "P" is for Prunes - January 27, 2011




Prunes are quite a yummy fruit,
They're plums that have been dried,
Though oddly wrinkly looking,
They're very good inside!

California grows the most, by far,
And shares throughout our earth,
It seem a lot of people know,
What gives this fruit great worth!




Prunes bear the title superfruit,
They're rich in many things,
From fiber to antioxidants,
They'll see your body sings!

They're not just for us grannies,
Who need some help to move,
To get us feeling regular,
And back into the groove!

Prunes are sweet and very tasty,
They're good for young and old,
These tiny shriveled purple fruits,
Are worth their weight in gold!

  7. I can't say this is a fruit that appeals to me all that much! I like my fruit a little more youthful. In plum form, say.

  13. I have to admit I do equate prunes with my granny. Maybe I need to take a second look at them. A fun poem!

  15. Prunes Perfect Poet! :)

    But, ya, they are just not for me!

    I remember trying them when I was pregnant with my first child. I'm not sure if it was the nausea from the baby or the prunes BUT I still can't eat them. :)

    Thank you so much for stopping by! It is hard for me to keep track of the blog visits, but I am happy that you found me and fun to learn more about you. Oh yes, Hawaii and California are tied together with families from both states...My hubby's grandfather was one of 22 kids (none were multiple births) and a lot of them moved to California when they were grown. Thank you for your kind comments and do come back any time. I can't wait til we become grandparents too :o)
    Do you do facebook? I am keeping my fb and blog separate, since my daughter introduced me into blogging and she asked that I do, to help keep some privacy of her blog from random old boyfriends that still can try to get on her fb through mutual friends.

  19. Prunes are definitely yummy, as long as they're organic. For the longest time, I thought prunes were dried plums. So much for being a California gal living among orchards of apricots. Well, maybe that's why I didn't know. :-)

  20. I haven't had a prune in years but this made me want to go get some!

  21. Hi Carmen, I love that last stanza.

    I rarely buy plums and never buy prunes. I am going to give them a try again, I think, after reading this glowing accolade.

    Thanks for a perfect link to Alphabe-Thursday's letter 'P'.

    You are a clever one!

    A+
