Answer 1

A prune is a dried plum.

Plums are sold in the produce section of a grocery store and prunes are in boxes, bags or jars in the section of the store that sells other dried fruit like raisins or apricots.

Prunes are dark purple-ish black and really quite good even though people joke they are for old people.
