Yellow plum

Yellow plums vary in size, shape, and flavor, depending on the variety, and generally average 3 to 7 centimeters in diameter. The fruits range in shape from round, oval to conical, sometimes with a sharp point at one end, and weigh about 80 grams. Yellow plums can be found in shades of golden yellow, pale yellow, and greenish yellow, and the skin is usually smooth, taut, and thin. Some varieties may be covered with a powdery to waxy bloom. This bloom can be easily removed by sanding or wiping the surface. Yellow plums may also develop a slight red blush on the sides exposed to a lot of sunlight. Beneath the surface, the yellow flesh is watery, firm, crisp, and succulent, often softening as it ripens. The flesh also includes a central stone that should be discarded during consumption. Yellow plums are edible raw and are eaten when ripe. Depending on the variety, plums have a sweet, tangy, fruity and sometimes sugary flavor.
