Plums, yellow, flesh and skin, raw

Yellow plums are a fruit, and these figures refer to the raw flesh and skin. They consist mainly of water, with carbohydrate as the main energy-providing nutrient. Per 100g, they contain 89g of water, 5.9g of carbohydrate, 5mg of vitamin C and 190mg of potassium. The carbohydrate is present as naturally occurring sugars.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, which is important for skin and other tissues, and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. For people monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake, the naturally occurring sugars still contribute to the total consumed.
