Nutritionally, they are low in calories, with approximately 30 calories per medium plum, and provide a source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.

Common Questions About Green plums Nutrition

Are green plums high in protein?

Green plums are not high in protein, as they typically contain less than 1 gram per 100 grams. They are more known for their carbohydrate and vitamin content rather than being a significant source of protein.

Can I eat green plums on a keto diet?

Green plums are not ideal for a strict keto diet as they contain around 10-12 grams of net carbs per 100 grams, mostly from natural sugars. Small portions might work in a less restrictive low-carb diet, but they don’t align with keto's ultra-low-carb requirement.

What are the health benefits of eating green plums?

Green plums are rich in vitamin C, providing around 15% of the daily recommended intake per 100 grams. They also contain antioxidants that support immune function and digestive health due to their mild fiber content. However, excessive consumption may cause stomach discomfort due to their acidity.

What is the recommended serving size for green plums?

A typical serving size for green plums is about 100 grams (approximately 4-5 small plums), which provides around 50 calories and delivers a moderate amount of vitamin C and natural sugars. Eating them in moderation is recommended due to their acidic nature.

How do green plums compare to regular (ripe) plums in nutrition?

Green plums have a sharper, tangy flavor and higher acidity compared to ripe plums. Nutritionally, they have similar calorie counts (around 50-60 per 100 grams) but slightly less natural sugars than ripe plums. Ripe plums may offer more sweetness and a softer texture, while green plums are better suited for pickling or snacking.
