Red Plums

Red Plums Half(Red Plums) We have not been able to identify the exact variety of the various plums we encounter, as usually they are unidentified or referred to by their color.  The red plum is a medium-sweet plum.  Choose red plums that are firm to just beginning to soften.  Do not select hard or mushy plums.  Red plums will ripen at room temperature.  The photo to the left is of half of a ripe red plum.  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!
