Pluots

Freshly picked pluots, such as the Dapple Candy and Flavor Queen varieties, are a sweet and juicy treat that combine the best qualities of plums and apricots. Dapple Candy pluots have a beautiful speckled skin that is yellow-green with red spots, and a sweet, juicy flesh that is reminiscent of honey. The Flavor Queen pluot, on the other hand, has a smooth, golden-yellow skin and a slightly tangy, yet sweet, flavor that is very refreshing. When pluots are picked fresh, they are at the peak of their flavor and texture, with a juicy, succulent flesh that is perfect for eating fresh, baking into pies or cobblers, or blending into smoothies. Pluots are rich in vitamins and minerals, and are a great source of dietary fiber and antioxidants.
