La Fiesta Salted Plums
What it is
These are whole plums that have been preserved and seasoned with salt. They are typically dried or semi-dried, giving them a chewy texture. The salting process enhances their natural sweetness and adds a tangy, savory dimension. This snack offers a unique flavor profile that is both sweet and salty, making it a distinctive treat. The plums are carefully processed to maintain their shape and flavor.

To enjoy these salted plums as a snack, simply open the package and consume them directly. Their chewy texture and balanced sweet-salty taste make them a satisfying treat.

Some people enjoy dissolving them in water or other liquids to create a unique flavored drink.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh plums, salted plums have a concentrated flavor due to the preservation process. The addition of salt creates a distinct sweet-and-savory contrast that is not present in their fresh counterparts. Their texture is also significantly chewier than fresh plums, offering a different mouthfeel.

How to keep the rest
After opening, it is best to store any remaining salted plums in an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help to maintain their chewy texture and prevent them from drying out further or becoming stale.
