Plum season is in full swing, and it’s the perfect time to get baking! Their natural sweetness and slight tartness make plums ideal for upside-down cakes, tarts, or even a simple drizzle over ice cream. Add a burst of seasonal flavor to your dessert menu while they’re at their peak!

Peel it or eat it? Let’s settle the kiwi debate. While most people toss the fuzzy skin, it’s 100% edible and packed with fiber. ⁠

Eating the whole fruit gives you way more fiber than just scooping out the inside. Not into the fuzz? Try golden kiwis—they’re smoother and sweeter.⁠
