What is a pluot?

A pluot, also known as an interspecific plum, is a hybrid fruit created by crossbreeding a plum and an apricot. The fruit has a smooth skin and a juicy, sweet, and slightly tart flesh that is similar in texture to a plum. The taste and texture of a pluot can vary depending on the specific varieties that were used to create it, but they are typically sweeter than a plum and less fuzzy than an apricot. Pluots can be eaten fresh or used in various culinary applications such as jams, pies, and salads. They are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber.
