Plum Facts

• Plums are in season from November to May.

• Plums have stones like human fingerprints, each one being unique to a particular variety.

• Plums are high in carbohydrates, low in fat and low in calories.

• When selecting your plums, look for fruit that is smooth, plump and fairly firm with a rich and vibrant colour.

• Store your plums at room temperature and once ripe, in the fridge for up to five days. Always remember to wash and dry your plums well before eating, and to discard the stone.
