This educational comic traces the history and cultivation of prunes from their origins in Hungary during the 1500s through their establishment in California, beginning with the first prune tree planted there in 1856 by French farmer Louis Pellier. The narrative details modern prune production methods, including dehydration in controlled-temperature facilities and mechanical grading by size, while emphasizing that California now cultivates 90,000 acres of prunes. The comic concludes by highlighting prunes' exceptional nutritional value, ranking them first among major fruits in iron and copper content, second in calcium and phosphorus, and first in vitamin B₂ content.
