Ingredient Spotlight: Plums I have found that even with the ripest of plums, there is always a quick hit of sweet, juicy goodness followed almost immediately by a hit of sour. How do plums pull off this flavor shape shifting? That sweet-then-sour sequence comes from how the sugar and acid are distributed in the fruit. The flesh nearest the skin holds more acid, while the center is sweeter, so your first bite hits both notes almost at once. Purple foods carry a specific set of plant compounds that give them their color, and they're probably the fruit and vegetable group you're eating the least, even if you're generally good about variety. Plums are an easy way to close that gap. Dried plums, aka prunes, are also the reliable fix for a sluggish digestive system.
