Have you spotted pluots on the fruit shelf? This intriguing hybrid is a cross between a Japanese plum and an apricot, offering a burst of sweet flavor.
The name "pluot" cleverly combines "plum" and "apricot." In terms of genetics, it's typically about three-quarters plum and one-quarter apricot, blending the best traits of both fruits for superior taste and texture.
Pluots come in diverse types, from those with deep dark skins to lighter hues or even subtle purple tones. While flavors vary slightly by variety, all share an exceptionally sweet profile that fruit enthusiasts love.
