Plums

Share

Plums are another delicious stone fruit to enjoy this summer. Look for plums that are free of any bruising and that are firm but not too hard. That chalky white powder on plums is completely natural. It’s called the bloom, and its presence is a good sign that a plum hasn’t been handled too much from orchard to store.  Let plums ripen at room temperature for a few days. For the most antioxidants, consume plums when fully ripened.
