Su Yijun, a nutritionist at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that plums are a specialty of China and Japan, and they are abundant around Tomb-Sweeping Day every year. Generally, plums are harvested mainly because of their high acidity and low sweetness. They are usually used to preserve plums, and are also exported to Japan or dried in the sun as raw materials for making preserved plums. (Recommended reading: Dr. Lin Liang Jie: Is it moldy? )

Basically, dark green plums harvested around spring are suitable for crisp plums, and when the fruits turn light green, they are suitable for perilla plums, plum blossoms, tea plums and plum wine. When plums are ripe to yellow-green, they can be used to brew plum vinegar or make plum jam and juice. When plums are fully ripe and turn red, they are not suitable for processing.
