Plums provide a good source of vitamin C, vitamins B1, B2, and B6, fiber, and
phenolic compounds.
Plums and prunes contain laxative effects, although prunes are much more effective
than plums. Plums also offer a good source of neochlorogenic and cholorogencic
acid. Those two related compounds are classified as phenols, which have well
documented antioxidant and anticancer effects.
