Plums are juicy drupes with smooth skin that can be purple, red, yellow or green. They have soft flesh with a sweet to slightly sour taste and contain a hard stone in the middle. Plums are often eaten fresh, but also used in jams, desserts, pastries, sauces and dried as plums or “prunes”. They are popular for their juiciness, rich flavor and versatility in both sweet and savory dishes.
