Dried plums

Description

Smoked dried plums are fruits with a deep, dark color and a wrinkled, slightly shiny skin; their aroma combines concentrated sweetness and subtle acidity with a noticeable hint of smoke, creating a complex, caramel-warming flavor profile and a soft, dense texture. Their taste is intense, rich, and elegantly rounded by smoky notes that give dishes character. Nutritionally, they are calorie-dense, rich in fiber, potassium, vitamin K, and antioxidants, containing natural sugars and sorbitol, which aids digestion and regulates bowel function; moderate consumption may support cardiovascular health. In the kitchen, they pair excellently with meat (stews, roasts, game), sauces, tagines, salads, baked goods, and cheese boards, where they introduce depth and a smoky aroma. Store in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed container, away from strong odors; refrigeration or freezing will extend their freshness and aroma.
