Description
Plums are popular the world over for their manageable size, sweet flavor, and affordability. A staple of any supermarket or deli store, plums belong to the Prunus genus of plants and are second cousins of the peaches, nectarines, and almonds. They are all considered “drupes,” fruits that have a hard stone pit surrounding their seeds. You can eat them raw, slice them up and bake or turn into sauces; you can also preserve them! When plums are dried, they become the fruit we’ve come to know and love as prunes.
