A huge purple plum with yellow flesh. Very sweet and meaty. the Angelino can also hang on the tree for a very long time. When fully tree ripened it develops a full, robust flavor. The Angelino is very versatile, excellent in pies, jams, sauces, and fresh. Plums taste best when consumed fresh from the tree but also provide a fine nutritional snack in its dried form as well. Plums long known "fiber" effect on the human body is because the skin contains a substance that is responsible for it. If you peel a plum, it will lose this "fiber" side effect while still providing a nutritional treat. Dried plums, used to be dried on the tree and in the sun like raisins, but now they are dried in air tunnels heated by gas to give them a more uniform appearance. Plums picked for drying are harvested at a more mature stage than those that are used for fresh consumption or canning.
