Black Plums

Black Plums
(Black Plums) There are many varieties of plums, each of which have differing flavors and nutritional values.  We believe that the black plum is the sweetest.  It also has the advantage of having a very small pit, thus providing more edible flesh.  Choose black plums that are firm to just beginning to soften but not hard or mushy.  This black plum will ripen at room temperature.  See nutritional information below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
