Plum puree

Plum puree is an ingredient made from cooked and processed ripe plums until a smooth and homogeneous consistency is obtained. This puree has a sweet and slightly acidic flavor, perfect for adding moisture, texture, and a fruity touch to various sweet and savory recipes.

Plums, which are the fruit of the plum tree (Prunus domestica), originate from regions of Europe and Asia, although they are currently cultivated in many parts of the world, including Latin America. Plum puree is widely used in pastry, sauces, marinades, and as a healthy substitute for fats or sugars in preparations.

Properties: it is rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin K. Furthermore, it helps improve digestion and provides a natural source of sugars that can give quick energy in recipes.

In different Hispanic American countries, plum puree may also be known as plum pap, fine plum jam, or simply ground dried plum.
