Description

Plums are a relative of the peach, apricot and nectarine, with about 20 varieties readily available in the United States.

European-type plums are small, oval-shaped fruits with blue or purple skin and golden yellow flesh. The Japanese varieties are almost perfectly round with red-black or crimson skin and yellow or reddish flesh. Santa Rosa and Red Beaut are the most common Japanese varieties.

Along with providing a good source of vitamin C, plums are also a low glycemic food packed with antioxidants and anthocyanins.
