Like many other fruits, plums are very delicate. While plums will store well, you should purchase them for use within a week as the longer they are stored, the more they become bruised and softened. Choose plums without bruising, soft spots or cuts. When selecting dried prunes/plums, always try to purchase natural, those that have not been dried with any type of Sulphur’s. Many health food stores and conventional grocers are now carrying plums that are not dried and preserved with chemicals.
