Lassen Farms Sugar Plums
The Sugar
Plum needs no introduction. Its appearance is that of a gigantic purple
grape. It is one of the few plums with a non-bitter skin. Your first bite
will give way to an incredible fruit full of character.
Its golden flesh is
followed by nature’s second honey that comes rushing forward to greet
your taste buds with every bite. This fruit's sugar at harvest ranges from
18% to 25%, and it has been said "the rays of the sun have
been captured and stored beneath the flesh of this singular fruit to only
be set free when tasted."
Supplies
are limited. Fresh Sugar Plums are normally available the last week
of July and the first two weeks of August.
Note: Since fresh
fruit is perishable, only Next Day or Second Day delivery orders can be
accepted.
