Plums

Plums are oval or heart-shaped fruits that come in a variety of colors. They have a sweet juicy taste that can’t be beat! Interestingly enough, the stone in a plum is actually like a human fingerprint. Each variety has a unique stone which helped experts identify over one hundred plum stones on Henry VII’s flagship, Mary Rose. Nowadays, plums are thoroughly enjoyed on their own, in salads with goat cheese and walnuts, or in a tasty dessert.
