sour plum

Acidic stone fruit

Sour plum refers to any of several varieties of plum with notably tart flesh, often used in Asian cuisines for pickles, sauces, and preserved snacks.

Chinese sour plum candy and drinks are popular treats.

The sourness comes from harvesting fruit before full ripeness or from naturally acidic cultivars.

I love sour plum candy.
