Persian Sour Plums

Native to western Asia, Persian Sour Plums are small, no bigger than a ping pong ball, and almost perfectly round. Besides, their bright lime green skin is very thin, and their interior is crisp and crunchy with a low water content and almost cottony texture. The Persian Sour plums have incredibly high acidity levels, offering lean flavors of lemon and tart green apple. As a matter of fact, all plums are a good source of fiber and have been shown to reduce adiponectin levels. Both characteristics may benefit blood sugar control. In addition, consuming these fruits on a regular basis may have a protective effect on heart health
