Pitted Hungarian plums

Description

Hungarian plums (pitted) are juicy, dark purple fruits with a sweet-tart, slightly astringent flavor and a soft, smooth texture that releases an intense aroma when crushed. As pitted fruits, they retain their natural sensory qualities, are convenient to use, and are visually appealing both fresh and processed. They are a source of fiber, vitamins (especially A and K), potassium, and antioxidants, as well as natural sorbitol, which aids in digestion regulation, supports gut and cardiovascular health, and helps with weight control when consumed in moderation. In the kitchen, they are perfect for compotes, jams, cakes, sauces for meats, salads, and smoothies, as well as a standalone snack. They should be stored in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator in a breathable container; for longer storage, they can be frozen, preferably in portions.
