Selection tips
- Look at the color. Red plums should be a bright red. If they're too pale, they're not ripe. If they're too dark, they may be overripe and starting to rot.
- Touch the plums. They should be firm but not hard. If they are too hard, they are not ripe. If they are too soft, they are overripe and may start to rot.
- Smell the plums. They should smell sweet. If they don't smell sweet, they're not ripe.
- Avoid plums with spots. Spots are a sign of spoilage.
If you follow these tips, you'll 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 stored in the fruit bowl for up to a week.
- 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 more quickly.
By following these tips, you can enjoy fresh and delicious red plums for longer.
