Plum is the most common type of Moldovan stone fruits, the second most common after apple, occupying about a quarter of the orchards in the country. Plums contain natural sugars, organic acids, mineral salts and vitamins. Due to the natural chemical composition of plums, they are recommended for fresh use for therapeutic purposes as a prevention of cardiovascular diseases, rheumatism and liver diseases.
