Yellow Plum

Yellow plums, also known as Mirabelle plums in some regions, are small, round fruits with a vibrant yellow to golden skin that may sometimes have a slight rosy blush. They are renowned for their sweet and succulent taste, which is often described as honey-like with hints of almond due to the presence of benzaldehyde, a compound also found in bitter almond oil. The aroma of yellow plums is particularly inviting, characterized by a delicate, fruity scent with floral undertones, enhancing their appeal as a fresh fruit. The texture of their flesh is firm yet juicy, making them a favorite for fresh eating, as well as for use in desserts, jams, and jellies where their natural sweetness and pleasant fragrance can be showcased.
