Plum product overview

Plum ingredients are valued for a rich stone-fruit profile that can range from bright and aromatic to deeper, jammy notes depending on variety and processing. Plum Juice Concentrate is often chosen for logistics efficiency and blending flexibility, while NFC Plum Juice and frozen formats are favored when you want a fresher sensory profile. Plum Puree adds body and authentic fruit character in smoothies, dairy bases, and dessert systems. Plum Powder supports dry formulations where low water activity and accurate dosing matter.

Packaging & storage guidance

Packaging: Drums and totes are common for concentrates, NFC, and purees; powders ship in lined cases or bags; frozen programs require frozen-capable packaging and palletization.

Storage: Concentrates may ship ambient, chilled, or frozen depending on item and program. NFC and frozen formats generally require cold chain.

Documentation: COA and supporting quality documents are typically available. If you need USDA Organic, Kosher, allergen statements, or additional testing, mention it in your inquiry.

Traceability: Industrial programs often include lot IDs and origin information; requirements vary by supplier.
