Hi jasjon! Thanks for the informative discussion. I really am not aware of the benefits of a plum. All I know that when you eat fruits it keeps your body healthy! I love plums! I like the black and the Spanish plums we have here. It is really delicious. I really like dipping them in salt.

Hi. jasjon. This is really great information here that you have on plums. I love eating plums and when I have a craving for them, I usually eat two or three small plums. I love buying black and red plums from the grocery store. These are my favorite fruits to eat during the summer time.
