Reply:No difference they are the same, both are delicious. love them, are good for you, too. Will keep you running. LOL
Reply:They are different fruits entirely. Similar but different. Prunes taste nasty.
Reply:Basically the same thing, can be used interchangeable:



A plum is a stone fruit tree in the genus Prunus, subgenus Prunus. The subgenus is distinguished from other subgenera (peaches, cherries, bird cherries, etc) in the shoots having a terminal bud and the side buds solitary (not clustered), the flowers being grouped 1-5 together on short stems, and the fruit having a groove running down one side, and a smooth stone.



Any of more than 125 varieties of fruit, most grown for drying. Four of the most common varities are French, Imperial, Italian, and Green Gage. Prunes are cultivars of plum species (mostly Prunus domestica). In general, prunes are freestone cultivars (the stone is easy to remove), whereas plums are cling (the stone is more difficult to remove). Dried fruit of the prune tree were traditionally called "dried prunes" or "prunes", but an effort is currently underway to market them as "dried plums". Fresh prunes reach the market earlier than fresh plums and are usually smaller in size. Prune juice is more fiber-rich than plum juice and is often marketed as a way to increase regularity.
Reply:Nothing. The people who produce and market prunes (growers %26amp; grocers) changed the name to "dried plum" to make the product more appealing-sounding. People have somewhat negative connotations with prunes (old people, prune juice and it's "effects", etc.)



So it's really the same thing. Just with a little spin. ;)
Reply:exact same thing
Reply:A dried plum is a prune, a dried prune is dust.
Reply:I guess it is the same as calling a raisin a dried grape.
Reply:Dried Plum is an advertising term. It was used to get young people to try them, because of the association of prunes and prune juice with the retired. It is the same reason that there are white and red pistachios. Try to find a red pistachio growing. You never will because they are dyed red to be more appealing to the consumer.

Reply:Try looking for something else in the store
Reply:Until recently a dried plum and a dried prune were all called the same thing, prunes.



Prunes are actually a cultivar of plums. In general a cultivar is a plant the has been specifically cultivated for certain properties and actually has recieved a different name.



Prunes and Plums differ in certain desirable areas. The two terms use to be interchangeable, prunes could have ment either dried plums or dried prunes, even though are technically different friuts. The reason why there is a confusion, is that dried plum makers don't like the negative feeling towards the name prunes. So they have started marketing thier products as dried plums in order to move away from it.
