A plum is a type of fruit found in the Prunus genus. Plum has a rich, pleasantly sweet flavour that gets sweeter as it ripens. When unripe, the flavour can be a little tart, but when fully ripe, it can be very sweet. They have the same sweet flavour as any other sweet fruit. A plum is a small, spherical fruit with one of three colours: red, blue, or purple. Upon taking the first bite, you'll feel a burst of tart flavours in your mouth which will eventually get sweeter as you eat it. Plums are also known as aloo Bukhara and are seasonal fruit during the post-summer and pre-monsoon season. Not only they are delicious but are loaded with essential nutrients as well.
1. Plum phytochemicals and minerals reduce the inflammatory response that leads to heart disease.
2. Prunes and plums both support gastrointestinal lubrication. They contain a lot of sorbitol, a sugar alcohol that has laxative properties naturally.
3. Plums include potassium, which benefits blood pressure management in two ways. It eases stress in the blood vessel walls and aids in your body's removal of sodium through urination. Your risk of suffering a stroke decreases when your blood pressure goes down.
4. Plums are stuffed with fibre, which helps prevent a blood sugar increase after consuming carbohydrates. They can also increase the amount of adiponectin your body produces, a hormone that aids in controlling your blood sugar levels.
