Hog Plum

Fresh Mombin Plums (Hog Plum) – Exotic, Tangy and Refreshing Bring a true tropical rarity to your kitchen with the Mombin Plum, commonly known as Hog Plum. These small, oval-shaped fruits are native to tropical regions and belong to the cashew family (Anacardiaceae), making them botanically more closely related to mangoes than to conventional plums. Taste & Aroma Mombin Plums offer a fascinating tropical flavor. They have a wonderfully fruity and tangy taste with sweet and slightly tart notes, reminiscent of a combination of unripe mango, green apple and refreshing citrus. The juicy flesh surrounds a relatively large, fibrous stone. Versatile Uses In the regions where they are commonly grown and consumed, Hog Plums are used in many different ways: Green / Unripe: Crisp and sour – ideal for pickling, savory chutneys and salads, or traditionally enjoyed with a little salt and chili. Yellow / Ripe: Pleasantly sweet and tangy – excellent for refreshing juices, tropical smoothies, jellies and sauces.
