Plums

Plums, the ancient traveller’s fruit, have been enjoyed for over 6,000 years, making them one of the oldest cultivated fruits in the world. The Ancient Greeks valued plums not only for their sweet, juicy taste but also for their ability to stay fresh on long journeys, making them a staple snack for traders, soldiers, and sailors. Whether fresh or dried (as prunes), plums were a source of energy and nourishment throughout history. Without doubt, they are the "fruit of endurance," perfect for both ancient travellers and modern health-conscious consumers.

Plums come in an array of colours and flavours, from deep purple and red varieties bursting with sweetness to golden and green plums with a sharper tang. Their high antioxidant content and natural fibre make them a nutritious choice for anyone. Whether eaten fresh, blended into jams, or baked into rustic desserts, plums bring a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness to any dish.
