Developed in 1989, pluots have the initial appearance of a mottled plum. Besides, their coloring ranges from red-skinned and pale amber-skinned to ruby-fleshed and blazing gold fleshed. As a matter of fact, most pluot varieties are extremely sweet, often spicy, low-acid fruits with a juicy, firm flesh. In addition, they are high in vitamins A and C, potassium, calcium, phosphate and dietary fiber. These nutrients are indeed important for a strong immune system, a healthy digestive system, lowering cholesterol levels, and they also do prevent the negative effects of free radicals.
