Tips

Ripeness & flavor: Look for plums that are firm with a little “spring.” While plums are generally known for their tart skin and sweet flesh, the skin will become less tart and the flesh sweeter as the plums ripen and soften.

Ripening & refrigeration: As with peaches and nectarines, allow your plums to ripen and soften at home at room temperature. Don’t put your plums in the refrigerator until they’re as ripe as you want them to be.

Explore & enjoy! There are over 200 varieties of plums, each with a unique color and flavor profile. California plums are like fine chocolate and wine – enjoy finding your favorites by exploring the abundance of subtle flavors and textures!
