Plums nutrition facts - Different Types of Plums

Avoid those with excess softness, or with cuts or bruises. Ripe fruits just yield to gentle pressure and feature a sweet aroma. Slightly hard but mature plums can be kept at the room temperature until they completely ripen. Once ready, they can be placed in the refrigerator but should be brought back to room temperature before being consumed in order to enjoy their rich natural flavor. Dry plums (prunes) can be stored at room temperature for few days.
