The pluot is a red, tough-skinned, fleshy fruit, that when first glimpsed may be mistaken for an apple. But when touched, one will definitely note the same texture of the skin as that of a plum.
In truth, the pluot is a hybrid! It is a genetic cross between a plum and an apricot!
I LOVE these fresh, tasty fruits! [Probably my latest addiction!]
A pluot is about the size of a small apple. It lacks the large pit of a plum, but still retains a medium, inedible pit. It is very sweet in taste! And is great for that sweet-tooth craving!
Pluots have 80 calories each. They have 0 grams of fat. Have a mere 1 gm of protein, and 1mg of sodium. They have 3 gm of fiber, and 19 gm of carbs. They are very high in potassium, 226 mg, them a great dietary supplement for anyone taking diuretics.
Be sure to head to your market today and try out this tasty fruit, if you've never had one before!
These are excellent for snacking anytime!
