Hello all back with something healthy and nutritious – Plums.
Plums have high nutritional value and antioxidant properties. Varieties of plum with darker fruits are regarded as rich in valuable antioxidants. But the major limitation to this healthy fruit is its storage due to short shelf life and softening that reduces its flavor quality and leads to fungal decay.
At home a plum had softened. I tried to see the pigments present in its peel that give it a characteristic color using a foldscope.
