Golden Plums are small, round and roughly the size of a golf ball. It has a thin golden outer skin, easy to chop and has a small pit. The inner flesh has a beautiful amber colour which gives dishes a vibrant show stopping look. Like other plums, the golden plum is very sweet and juicy. It has a tart aftertaste due to the skin. The meat of this fruit is firm but easily bitten into. If you let it overripe a little the meat will soften and get even sweeter.
