Tastiness and sweetness shouldn’t just be reserved for desert. At Farm Star Living, we like to have fun with all our meals - including dinner! Deepen the flavor of braised chicken with some nutritious prunes. Prunes, or dried plums, are bursting with sweet flavor and copper, fiber, and vitamins C and K! They also help you absorb iron while helping to make healthy tissue and maintain a strong immune system. Scientific studies have found this helps reduce heart disease, stroke, and even cancer.
