Binomial Name：Prunus domestica
Chinese Name：青梅李子
Other Names：Reine Claude de Bavay Plums
Product Description：The Reine Claude de Bavay plum is a small to medium-sized variety with an average diameter of 3 to 5 cm and a round to oval appearance with flat shoulders that taper slightly to a narrow curved base. The skin of plums is semi-thin, tight, smooth and matte, changing from green to yellow-green, sometimes golden, when ripe. The skin is also dotted with red blush, and the green to golden flesh is dense, moist, tender, juicy, and slightly hard. Reine Claude de Bavay plums have a high sugar content, around 30 Brix.
Green plum fruits are characterized by their rounded-oval shape and smooth, light green flesh; they are smaller on average than round plums, but larger than Mirabell plums (usually between 2 and 4 cm in diameter). Skin color varies from green to yellow, with some varieties having a bluish "blush"; some Reine Claudes, such as 'Graf Althanns', have a reddish-purple color due to crosses with other plums.
Reine Claude de Bavay plums, as well as other varieties of green plums, are prized in France. Green plums are prized in Europe for their syrupy sweetness. The original variety of this plum is difficult to grow. Many growers have given up on green plums because of their sporadic fruiting, sensitive nature, cracking fruit and slow ripening. The Reine Claude de Bavay plum is a late-season, self-fruitful, repeating variety with fruits that are generally larger and firmer than the Reine Claude Doree.

Prevent osteoporosis
Recent research shows that plums are the most effective fruit in preventing and even reversing bone loss. Several experiments on animals and humans have shown that plums are beneficial in preventing osteoporosis. Bone mineral density in ovariectomized rats decreases 15 unless they are fed high doses of prunes. In another experiment, female rats with reduced bone mass for 40 days after ovariectomy were fed plums at varying proportions. They restore bone mineral density and reverse disturbances in trabecular bone microarchitecture at a rate of only 5%. A clinical study in postmenopausal women showed that consuming 50 grams of prunes for six months prevented loss of bone mineral density in the hips16.
Promote gut health
In addition, the water-soluble dietary fiber pectin contained in prunes is a food for beneficial bacteria, which helps improve the intestinal environment and prevent/improve constipation.
