Are Plums Really Good?

Plums are not my favorite and I don't remember the last time I took these but just when I was browsing Facebook I saw a post explaining benefits of Plums and how they improve our immunity, cures constipation and treat high blood pressure related issues so I feel they are quite good and I should add these to my diet. Do you like Plums? Are you aware of its health benefits ?

I don't dislike plums but I never think to buy them. I didn't realize they had so many health benefits especially since I have high blood pressure and these could help. Guess I'll be putting them on my next shopping trip.

@Butterfingers There are still four plums in the kitchen on the counter if you want to come by and have some with me. I just woke up a few minutes ago to use the restroom and will go back to sleep in a little bit.

I do but only the canned ones. I guess it is good for us I have no searched it. But I know my Mom used to make them for us with custard when we were kids.

I made myself ill on plums when I was a child and then didn't eat them for years. I have them occasionally and always enjoy them but I don't go looking for them.

If plums were cheaper here in Manila, I'd definitely get some.

I don't like sour fruits, that's why I don't buy and eat them often. I think it was last year that I tasted one. Thanks for the info about its health benefits.

I do like plums, but only when they are good . I know about it helping with constipation . . . but besides health benefits, I do enjoy eating them.

@Butterfingers Sometimes the peel is bitter, but when the flesh is sweet, it is pretty good!

Plums were very common in India when I was a child. I make sweet dish out of them sometimes and use them I biryani too. However I don't use them often as they are rare.

Plums are good. We always had them in the yard growing up. I buy them when I can find them fresh.

I do like plums, but I haven’t had one in ages. If you don’t like them, that’s you’re personal taste, and you shouldn’t have to worry about what you do and don’t like.
