Like most juice, it's mostly water.

(60,568 posts)4. If they are rehydrated first, they it is not a true prune. So why do they call it prune juice ?? I think it would be
better to have plum juice. They are naturally very juicy and sweet.

You ask the most obscure-- and funny!-- questions, debm55!
In college, one of my roommates loved to drink screwdrivers on the weekends. Once, when we were out of orange juice, he used prune juice to mix with his vodka. The juice had the usual effect on his digestive system so he declared the drink a Piledriver.
True story.

and never see any juice either. The mystery continues.
