How to Select, Store and Handle Plums



Know what variety you’re buying! Depending on variety, plums can range from light yellow-green to almost black-purple.



Avoid plums that are too soft or too hard, as they are likely immature and will not develop a good taste.



Place unripe plums in a bowl at room temperature. They ripen quickly, so keep an eye on them!



Plums can be frozen, but remove the pit before freezing.
