FAQs for

Plums

How can I tell if a plum is ripe?

A ripe plum will yield to slight pressure and emit a fragrant aroma. Check the area around the stem – if it’s soft, the plum is ripe.

Can the skin of the plum be eaten?

Absolutely! The skin of a plum is edible and contains many of the fruit’s nutrients.

How should I store ripe plums?

Ripe plums should be stored in the refrigerator to prolong their freshness. They can be kept at room temperature for faster ripening.

Can plums be eaten in a low-carb diet?

Yes, in moderation. While plums do contain natural sugars, their nutritional benefits and fiber content make them a valuable part of a balanced diet.

What is the difference between prunes and plums?
