Plums are delicious fruits that belong to the Prunus genus, which also includes cherries and apricots. They come in various colors, such as purple, red, and yellow, and have a smooth skin with a sweet or tart flavor. Plums are juicy and can be eaten fresh, dried (as prunes), or used in cooking and baking. They are not only tasty but also packed with vitamins and antioxidants, making them a healthy snack option.
These fruits grow on trees that thrive in temperate climates. Plum trees bloom in spring, showcasing beautiful flowers before producing fruit in summer. Plums are often enjoyed in desserts, jams, or simply on their own. Their versatility and delightful taste make them a favorite among many fruit lovers.
