Is eating unripened plums bad for you?
Yes, you should avoid eating unripe plums unless you are doing so for their laxative properties. Choose ripe, but not soft, plums, which should respond to slight pressure. The skin should be shiny and still have its bloom (a frosted appearance), which is a good sign that the fruit was recently picked and has not been handled too much. ChaCha on!

About Plums
Plums are fleshy, smooth skinned fruits that have a stone pit in the center. They have been cultivated for thousands of years. They are very flavorful, juicy, and used in a wide range of dishes, from fruit pastries to fruit salads. When they are in season, they are typically readily available at most markets in the summer. Plums grow throughout the temperate zones of the world, with hundreds of different varieties. You can find tiny yellow versions to monstrous lustrous purple ones.
