Plum
A nicely sized, hand held fruit, the pink to purple coloured plum is a must in any fruit menu. This stone fruit grows in temperate to warm regions; in Europe it probably descended from wild plums in ancient times; the 'Japanese-type' plums originated in China. It is picked by hand over the fruiting season to protect its skin. The flesh inside ranges from creamy to dark red depending on the variety, and contains vitamins A, K and C. Some plums have waxy bloom, this is quite normal and doesn't detract from the juicy flesh or wonderful flavour.
