things people ask

• How much prune puree goes into homemade baby food?
  A teaspoon (6 g) stirred into a few tablespoons of plain oatmeal, yogurt, or pureed apple is the typical first introduction for babies past six months. The fiber acts gently as a stool softener, which is why pediatricians often suggest it for constipated infants. Start with one teaspoon and watch for tolerance before going up to two.
• Will a teaspoon of prune puree change a cookie recipe?
  One or two teaspoons (6-12 g) added to a standard cookie dough adds a hint of chew and deepens the color without changing the flavor profile much. It's a common trick in oatmeal-raisin and chocolate-chip cookies meant to stay soft for several days. Past three teaspoons in a single batch you'll start to taste the prune and the dough gets noticeably wetter.
• Can prune puree go into a savory stew or marinade by the teaspoon?
  Yes — a teaspoon or two stirred into a beef bourguignon, lamb tagine, or tamarind-style marinade rounds out the acid and adds a quiet sweetness without reading as fruity. 6 g per serving is well below the threshold where anyone tastes prune specifically; it behaves more like a dab of tomato paste, contributing color and depth rather than flavor.
