Plums
Plums are juicy stone fruits available in a wide range of sizes, colors, and flavors. Their skins may be red, purple, blue, yellow, green, or nearly black, while the flesh can range from yellow and red to deep purple.
Some plums are sweet and juicy enough to eat fresh, while others have a more tart flavor that makes them excellent for cooking and preserving. Varieties may be freestone or clingstone depending on how easily the flesh separates from the pit.
