Plums
Organic
Kyrgyzstan
Dried, pitted plums from the Sary-Chelek region, a nature reserve in the west of Kyrgyzstan. The plums have a sweet, aromatic flavour with a subtle note of acidity. They are firm on the outside with a very soft texture on the inside.
Storage & shelf life
Dried fruit can be stored at room temperature well past the best-before date in a tightly sealed container away from light. They only become slightly harder after a few months. Before using them for baking or cooking, you can soften fruit that has hardened by placing it in some hot water for a few minutes. The plums are still edible when a white deposit forms. This is fructose that dries on the surface.
