Moist organic dried prunes

I usually buy the organic pitted dried prunes at The Big Carrot and occasionally a bag of the Kirkland brand Sunsweet Pitted Prunes (not organic) when I am at Costco. I notice that the Sunsweet ones are very moist while The Big Carrot ones are on the dry side.

Does anyone know where I can get organic pitted dried prunes that are more like the Kirkland Sunsweet ones?

    Look for "Mornin' Glory" brand ... organic pitted prunes that are described as "high in moisture". I got them at the Sweet Potato on Dundas West in the Junction.

      Sunsweet Gold Label moist pitted prunes can be found in Lloblaws

        Yes, but those are not organic. They are exactly the same ones that I mentioned that I bought under the Kirland Signature Sunsweet Pitted Prunes brand - same packaging, same colours, etc (minus the 'Gold Label' moniker, yet in the US the exact same Kirkland Signature product does say Gold Label under the Sunsweet logo). And they are indeed very moist.

        Sunsweet has on their website what they call a premium product and package as 'D'Noir Prunes - Preservative Free' (but again, not organic, just preservative free) but then I found an image on the net of a package with the label 'Organic D'Noir Prunes - Preservative Free - No Sulfites', but it's not on their website. Anyone ever see these in Toronto? I'm going to call Sunsweet to see what the low-down is about these prunes. Maybe they don't offer them anymore..
