I tried a new fruit! It came in last week’s organic produce bundle.
Looks like a plum, right? Well, it is a hybrid-cross of plums and apricots! They sell many different varieties of pluots, and I believe the ones I received were the “Dapple Dandy” variety.
It has a lighter complexion than your regular plum, and is more speckled. However, once you slice into it…
The color blossoms in a deep ruby-red. Absolutely gorgeous.
The skin is not as sour as a plum, which is nice, and the flavor is more intense than plums. I enjoyed them, and I bet they would taste great in place of the plums for my Plum Socca Tart with Rosemary.
They are also rich in Vitamin A.
THOUGHT-PROVOKING, MIND-PRODDING QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Have you ever tried a pluot? If so, did you like it?
Also, do you have any favorite strange hybrid fruits? I haven’t tried many of them, and I would love to explore them more. I would love to try a grapple (grape/apple), pineberry (pineapple/strawberry), or strasberry (strawberry/raspberry).
