Can I eat it?
Unsweetened prunes can fit a PCOS-supportive diet. They provide fiber but concentrate carbohydrate, so consider a small portion alongside plain yogurt rather than treating them as an unlimited snack.

Serving ideas
Start with two or three prunes, chopped into yogurt or oats. Check that the ingredient list contains no added sugar; increase fiber gradually if you are prone to bloating.
Evidence and limits
