Selection tips
- Look at the color. Red plums should be bright red. If they are too pale, they will not be ripe. If they are too dark, they may be overripe and begin to rot.
- Touch the plums. They should be firm but not hard. If they are too hard, they will not be ripe. If they are too soft, they will be overripe and may begin to rot.
- Smell the plums. They must smell sweet. If they don't smell sweet, they won't be ripe.
- Avoid plums with spots. Stains are a sign of decay.
If you follow these tips, you will be able to choose the freshest and most delicious red plums.
Conservation
- Store red plums in a cool, dry place. Do not store them in the refrigerator, as this will cause them to lose their flavor.
- Red plums can be kept for up to a week in the fruit bowl.
- If you want red plums to ripen faster, put them in a paper bag with a banana. The banana will release ethylene, a hormone that helps red plums ripen faster.
By following these tips, you will be able to enjoy fresh and delicious red plums for longer.
