Red Plums

Red plums from Italy are another type of stone fruit that is widely enjoyed for their sweet and juicy flesh and vibrant red or purplish skin. Just like with yellow plums, the specific varieties can vary depending on the region and local cultivars. Some common varieties include “Santa Rosa” plums and “Satsuma” plums. These plums can range in size, shape, and flavor, but they generally share the common characteristic of having red or reddish-purple skin.

They are a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, K, potassium, and dietary fiber. They also contain antioxidants that can contribute to overall health and well-being and are typically in season during the summer months, usually from late spring to early autumn.
