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.

I eat plums quite often and yes, I'm aware they're supposed to be good for us.

@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.

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

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

I've never tasted them. The closest are probably the grapes.

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.

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.
