Plums Delivery or Pickup

Plums are low in calories and high in fiber. A medium-sized plum contains about 43 calories and, depending on the variety, they're high in vitamin C, K, B, and A. Essential trace elements found in plums include potassium, calcium, phosphate, and manganese. These minerals help support numerous bodily functions such as bone and tissue growth, cardiovascular health, and cognitive functions.

The best way to enjoy plums is to eat them raw when they are fully ripe. You can also slice them to serve over cereal, with yogurt and granola, or in a bowl with a drizzle of wildflower honey. Plums make delicious jams and jellies with a squeeze of added lemon juice, cinnamon, and clove. When you're having a summer backyard barbecue, take a couple of freestone plums, slice them in half, and grill them until their natural sugars caramelize. Serve over vanilla ice cream for a great summer dessert.
