| Ethnobotanical Notes: |
Fruits suitable for fresh consumption, but because of the high dry-matter content predominantly for processing to preserves (stone-free), with spice to plum-jam, for covering of pastries and dried as prunes (also used as a mild laxans). Less-quality and overripe fruits as well as special cultivars in SE Europe are used for distillation of plum-brandy(1). |
