Dried Plum Aloo Bukhara (300gm) Sweet & Tart, Natural Laxative, Rich in Fiber, Perfect for Digestive Health & Cooking

Aloo Bukhara - those dark, wrinkly dried plums that your mom gives you when you complain about stomach issues. They're sweet-tart, slightly chewy, and let's be honest, the main reason most people buy them is for digestive help. They work - the fiber and natural sorbitol content make them effective for constipation. But they're also good in cooking, adding sweet-tart depth to stews and chutneys. Not the prettiest dried fruit, but definitely one of the most useful.

Why Aloo Bukhara is More Than Just Prunes

These are technically dried plums, similar to prunes but a different variety. Aloo Bukhara specifically refers to the Bukhara plum (hence the name), which has slightly different flavor - more tart, less intensely sweet than Western prunes. Used in Indian, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern cooking and traditional medicine. The digestive benefits are real - this isn't grandmother superstition, science backs it up.

What Good Dried Plums Look Like

Quality aloo bukhara should be dark purple-black, slightly wrinkled but not rock-hard or overly shriveled. Should feel slightly soft when pressed, not bone-dry. Should smell sweet and fruity, not fermented or moldy. If they have white coating, that's sugar crystallization - normal and fine. If they're rock-hard or smell off, they're old or improperly stored.

Questions About Dried Plum (Aloo Bukhara)

1. How many aloo bukhara should I eat for constipation?

Start with 3-4 pieces soaked overnight in water. Eat them in the morning, drink the water too. Should work within few hours. Don't eat 10 at once - too much will give you stomach cramps and diarrhea.

2. Are aloo bukhara the same as prunes?

Similar but not identical. Both are dried plums, but aloo bukhara is specifically Bukhara plum variety - more tart, different flavor. Prunes are usually sweeter. Both work for digestion though.

3. Can I eat aloo bukhara every day?

For digestive health, 3-4 daily is typical. But if you don't have constipation issues, you don't need them daily. Too much can cause loose stools. Listen to your body.

4. Why do dried plums help with constipation?

Two reasons: high fiber content and natural sorbitol (sugar alcohol that draws water into intestines). This combination makes things move. It's not magic, it's chemistry.

5. Can diabetics eat aloo bukhara?

They have natural sugars, so diabetics should be cautious. Small amounts might be okay, but check blood sugar and talk to your doctor. The fiber helps slow sugar absorption, but they're still high in carbs.

6. Should I soak them before eating?

For digestive purposes, yes - soak overnight. Makes them softer and the water becomes mild laxative too. For snacking, you can eat them as is, but they're quite chewy.

7. Can kids eat dried plums?

Yes, but start with 1-2, not a handful. Good for kids with occasional constipation. Make sure they drink plenty of water. Too many will cause stomach issues.

8. Why do some have white coating?

That's sugar crystallization - completely normal and safe. Wipe it off if it bothers you, or just eat them as is. Not mold unless it looks fuzzy or smells bad.

9. Can I use aloo bukhara in cooking?

Absolutely! Common in Persian and Pakistani cuisine. Add to lamb stews, chicken dishes, rice. The sweet-tart flavor balances rich, savory dishes. Cook them until soft.

10. How long do dried plums last?

In airtight container, 6-8 months easily. They're dried, so pretty stable. If they get too hard, soak in warm water to rehydrate. If they smell fermented or look moldy, toss them.

11. Are dried plums good for anemia?

They have decent iron content, so yes, they can help. But don't rely on them alone - eat with vitamin C for better iron absorption. Medical treatment is still needed for actual anemia.
