Plums, dessert, flesh and skin, raw

Dessert plums are a fruit, and the figures here describe the raw flesh and skin. They mainly provide water and carbohydrate, with some fibre and small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 9.7g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, 1.3g of fibre and 187mg of potassium, and provide 177 kJ of energy.

The sugars in raw plums occur naturally within the fruit rather than being added. Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Raw plums contain little fat or saturated fat and only trace amounts of salt. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
