Our Dried Prune Cubes are made from premium prunes, cut into consistent cubes and dried to preserve their natural sweetness, dark color, and nutrient-rich profile. These cubes are ideal for cereals, health snacks, bakery products, confectionery, and nutritional blends. Each batch is processed under strict hygienic conditions, ensuring purity, controlled moisture, and export-level quality suited for global manufacturing needs.
We supply naturally sweet, uniform, and clean prune cubes with stable performance in food applications.
Used in cereals, nutrition bars, bakery items, snacks, and health-oriented foods.
Adds fiber and natural sweetness.
Blends well without sticking.
This section answers key questions regarding quality, stability, supply, and export handling.
In B2B trade, the standard moisture content for Dried Prune Cubes typically ranges from 24% to 30%. For industrial food manufacturing, keeping the moisture within this range is critical for maintaining an elastic, pliable texture that does not harden over time. We strictly monitor Water Activity ($a_w$), usually keeping it below 0.65 to ensure microbiological stability and prevent fermentation or mold growth during long-distance maritime transit.
The presence of pit fragments is a major liability in industrial baking and snack production. DITCO utilizes a multi-stage detection system, including mechanical pitters followed by high-sensitivity X-ray and Laser Sorting technology. Our technical specification targets a “virtually pit-free” standard, complying with international limits (such as USDA Grade A or EU 2026 safety standards) which allow no more than 0.5% to 2% by count for fragments larger than 2mm, ensuring the safety of your end consumers and protecting your processing machinery.
Dried prunes have a naturally high sorbitol and sugar content, making them extremely sticky. To ensure they are suitable for automated industrial feeders, our cubes are typically coated with non-GMO rice flour, corn starch, or high-oleic sunflower oil (1–3% by weight). This coating prevents clumping and ensures the cubes remain free-flowing during the mixing process. For “Clean Label” or grain-free applications, we can customize the coating type based on your specific formulation requirements.
We provide precision-cut dimensions to ensure uniformity in your final product. Our standard industrial sizes include:
3–5 mm: Ideal for yogurt toppings, fine confectionery, and fruit-filled cookies.
5–8 mm: The industry standard for breakfast cereals, granola, and muesli blends.
10×10 mm: Preferred for industrial baking (fruit loaves) and premium trail mixes. Each batch is mechanically sifted to remove “fines” and irregular fragments, providing high-yield consistency for your production line.
As of 2026, international regulations for dried fruits have become significantly more stringent. DITCO follows a strict monitoring program for Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs), complying with Regulation (EU) 2026/215. Our prunes are screened in ISO-accredited laboratories for fungicides and pesticides, ensuring they are well within the “zero-residue” or legal safety limits. We provide a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every lot to facilitate seamless customs clearance and food safety audits.
“Sugaring” (crystallization of natural sugars on the skin) can affect the visual quality of the product. To maintain a shelf life of 12 months, bulk prune cubes should be stored in a cool environment, ideally at $12^\circ\text{C}$ to $15^\circ\text{C}$ with a relative humidity of 50–60%. We pack our cubes in 10 kg or 12.5 kg corrugated boxes with blue food-grade polyethylene (PE) liners to protect against moisture absorption and oxidation. Keeping the product away from heat sources is essential to preserve the dark color and prevent the fruit from becoming too soft.
