Plums

Plums are juicy, sweet-tart stone fruits with smooth, thin skin that can range in color from deep purple and red to yellow or green, depending on the variety. Inside, they have soft, succulent flesh that may be golden, amber, or reddish, surrounding a single hard pit.

Their flavor varies from sweet and floral to tangy and slightly tart. Plums can be eaten fresh or used in jams, desserts, sauces, and baked dishes. When dried, they become prunes, which are valued for their natural sweetness and digestive benefits.

Nutritionally, plums are rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants. Their refreshing flavor and juicy texture make them a popular fruit in many parts of the world.
