• Plums, Letitia, 1 kg pack are a medium to large varietal, averaging 5 to 8 centimeters in diameter, and have a uniform, round to slightly flattened shape. The plum's skin is semi-thick, smooth with a glossy, dark yellow to a red base. Underneath the surface, the flesh showcases a yellow-orange center surrounding the pit. The flesh also features a slightly firm but tender, succulent, and aqueous consistency, clinging tightly to the central pit.

• Plums, Letitia, 1 kg pack have a sweet, fruity flavor well suited for both sweet and savory dishes. The plums can be eaten raw or cooked, and the skin can be kept on for a tangier flavor or removed for a sweeter taste. Plums, Letitia, 1 kg pack are traditionally consumed straight, out of hand, or they can be sliced and tossed into green salads, mixed into fruit bowls, or stirred into yogurt, oatmeal, acai bowls, and cereal. The plums can also be blended into smoothies, sliced and dropped into beverages, or cut and displayed on cheese plates as a sweet component.

• Plums should be stored at room temperature, away from sunlight and heat until they give softly to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Once ripe, refrigerate plums as necessary to prevent spoiling, but cold temperatures may change their texture and taste.
