June Plum originated in Melanesia, a chain of islands located in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines.
This fruit is packed with lots of intriguing flavors! When you take a bite, you'll feel a mixture of spicy, sour, and savory tastes. It's best described as a combination of pineapple, mango, and soursop. The texture is crunchy and juicy, similar to an unripe mango or apple.
When a June Plum is ripe and ready to eat, it will turn light yellow. If you prefer to eat them unripe, you can, but it's best to wait until they are slightly yellow, like an apple. Once they are ready, you can peel off the skin and enjoy the crunchy inside until you hit the core. They taste great alone or with a dash of cayenne and lime juice.
