How to Pick a Ripe Plum

  • Give test: Press near the stem — a ripe plum gives slightly. Rock hard is underripe, very soft is overripe.
  • Bloom: A light white-grey dusty coating is natural and indicates freshness.
  • Fragrance: Ripe plums have a sweet, winey scent near the stem.
  • Deep colour: For red varieties, the deeper the colour, the sweeter the flesh.

Plum Nutrition

Two plums (132g): 60 calories, 16g carbs, 1.8g fibre, vitamins A, C and K, potassium and sorbitol. Prunes (dried plums) are famous for digestive health — fresh plums contain the same sorbitol that supports gut motility, just in smaller amounts.
