Flacourtia jangomas

Indian Plum, also known as coffee plum, is a small tropical fruit with reddish-purple skin and a juicy, sweet-tart centre. Its lively flavour makes it interesting both for fresh eating and for homemade preserves.

Why You'll Like Indian Plum / Coffee Plum:

Flavour & Texture:
Tangy and fruity when ripe, with sweetness that varies between fruit. Less-ripe fruit can be quite astringent.

Choose Your Quantity:
Available in 250 g, 500 g, 1 kg and 2 kg packs. Weights refer to whole fruit, including seeds.

Perfect Ripeness Guide:
Enjoy when the fruit has developed a deep reddish-purple colour and yields slightly. Gently rolling a ripe fruit between your fingers before eating is a traditional way to soften it.

How to Eat:
Wash before eating. Bite or cut carefully and remove the small hard seeds. The skin is edible. Deseeded pulp can also be used for jams, sauces and chutneys.

Storage:
Keep ripe fruit refrigerated and enjoy promptly. Wash just before eating; keep cut or deseeded fruit covered and chilled.
