Plums (6 grams sugars per small plum)

Plums belong to the plant member Prunus, which also includes cherries, apricots and almonds. They’re low in calories and contain fiber, vitamin A and vitamin C. They’re known as a low-energy dense food, meaning they contain few calories compared to their portion size — two medium plums add up to only 70 calories. Plums also are a low-glycemic index food, causing only a slight rise in blood sugar. Showcase fresh plums in this delicious recipe: One-pan Baked Chicken with Peaches and Plums.
