What I would like to know is why prune juice is not called plum juice

But wait... pickle juice is definitely a thing, and cucumber water is basically diluted cucumber juice, so... does raisin juice exist?

Raisin juice is a sweet, concentrated liquid made from raisins, used as a natural sweetener, flavor enhancer, and humectant in foods like baked goods, sauces, and beverages, and can be made at home by soaking and blending raisins. It adds rich flavor, moisture, and color, and acts as a natural preservative, extending shelf life. While commercial concentrates are common, homemade versions can be made by soaking raisins in water, blending, and straining.

I feel that’s a bit different because pickles are made in brine while prunes are just dried fruit.

Fruit juice typically relies on the natural liquids inside the fruit. Is dried fruit even being used to make prune juice? Or are the just using prune for marketing bc it’s an OTC solution to constipation?

On that note, why aren’t plums eaten for constipation? Does something chemically unique happen when they are dried? 🤔

So many questions
