Plum varieties are sometimes hard to distinguish by just looking at the outside skin. A plum with a purple skin could have creamy yellow flesh on the inside or bright red - just look at the differences between the Black Amber and the Black Splendor. You can also see differences in the skin color as well, some plums are ripe and ready-to-eat even when bright green. See the photos on the varieties below so the next time you see the variety name on the in store point-of-sale or PLU sticker you’ll know what your biting into.
Here are some of the plum varieties that are harvesting this June.
