🍑 What Are Fresh Plums?

Plums are stone fruits belonging to the same wider fruit family as peaches, nectarines, cherries and apricots.

Inside each plum you’ll find juicy flesh surrounding a central stone, which should be removed when preparing the fruit for most recipes.

As plums ripen, their flesh generally becomes softer, juicier and sweeter.
