In Australia, plums are in season from November through to April, with peak supply from January to March when Victorian orchards are in full swing.
Choose plums with a natural whitish "bloom" on the skin and no wrinkles, cuts, or blemishes. They should give slightly to gentle pressure when ripe and have a sweet aroma.
Plums were one of the very first fruits ever cultivated by humans, with ancient origins tracing back to China over 2,000 years ago! Today, there are over 2,000 distinct varieties grown worldwide, and when dried into prunes, they naturally boost digestion and bone health.
