Tips for Choosing and Storing Your Organic Plums.

• When Buying : Look for plums with smooth, shiny skin, free of bumps or blemishes. They should feel slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy. Their aroma should be sweet and pleasant.
• Storage : If they are not yet fully ripe, leave them at room temperature to finish ripening. Once ripe, store them in the refrigerator, preferably in a paper or perforated bag, where they will stay fresh for several days. Wash them just before eating.
