How to eat plums

Plums are one of the most appetising fruits during the hot summer months due to their excellent quality, aroma and refreshing taste, which relieves thirst in a natural, nutritious and healthy way. They can be eaten at any time of the day, either peeled or with skin. Since they are usually eaten unpeeled, we recommend that you wash them well beforehand. They can be eaten on their own or as an ingredient in salads, fruit salads, cocktails, jams, pastries, sorbets, ice creams… Note that all dark plums (and some lighter varieties) have bitter skins that can be used to prepare jams, marmalades and jellies. They can also be used to prepare delicious sweet and sour sauces to accompany meats and pancakes.
