Plumcots are the best of both worlds. It’s what happens when you cross pollinate between plums and apricots and the results are delicious. Each variety has a relatively short window of availability, about three weeks on average, so that means you’ve got to get them quick! Plumcots are also known as Pluots®.

Plumcots are best enjoyed fresh at their peak ripeness. To store fresh plumcots, ripen at room temperature and refrigeration ripe fruit for three to five days.

Plumcots are high in vitamins A and C, potassium, calcium, phosphate and dietary fiber. The deep red-fleshed varieties are also high in antioxidants.
