Dried red plum

Dried red plums are, I think, the most versatile dried fruit! Dried plums are eaten plain, with salt, and also used in cooking. Rumor has it they disappear from the kitchen even more often than French fries, and you have to hide them in seven different places just to keep a couple of handfuls of plums for stew! Plum stews are delicious and popular. Each of these stews, such as Aloo Mosamma, Aloo Esfenaj, black plum stew, and so on, uses a specific type of plum in its recipe. Now, the recipe is a very important part! But whether you like your food sweet, sour, or sweet-and-sour is a matter of the heart... and the heart doesn’t understand recipes or instructions! Dried red plums have a mildly sour taste; that is, they are sour, but not the kind that makes your eyes squeeze shut and your muscles tense up! In short, if you like a mild tartness, dried red plums are a very good choice.
