Plums are an excellent source of nutrition. More specifically, they are rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, folic acid, vitamin A and vitamin K. In addition, they have a high content of carbohydrates and fiber.

They also contain antioxidant substances (such as flavonoids, carotenoids, etc.) which provide the body with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer protection, reducing the risk of various cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson, Alzheimer)

Plum promotes satiety (i.e. the feeling of fullness) by providing the body with sufficient fiber and valuable nutrients.

Eating a snack such as a serving of plums, combined with a high-fiber food such as a handful of raw nuts, prolongs the feeling of fullness.

Plum has been considered one of the fruits for managing constipation and proper functioning of the gastrointestinal system.

Studies have shown that consuming plums in a balanced diet has a protective effect against osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women.

Plums are a rich source of polyphenolic substances including anthocyanins that give fruits and vegetables their red to dark purple color.
