Grown in China for more than 3,000 years, the plum is a drupe since its flesh adheres to an ovoid stone. Its pulp is soft, sweet and juicy. The purple or violet plum has an edible skin, almost black, with a covering of bloom. ... But in the plum family there are also the Queen-Claude, the yellow mirabelle and the violet quetsche. Some varieties like the famous Agen plum are dried to make prunes. 1, record 1, English, - Agen%20plum

Le prunier, de la famille des rosacées, est l'un des arbres fruitiers les plus faciles à cultiver. [...] Il produit abondamment, pendant les années favorables à son épanouissement, un fruit, la prune; celle-ci, de grosseur variable selon les variétés, est ronde ou ovoïde, jaune, rougeâtre ou violacée. [...] Les variétés les plus connues [...] sont la mirabelle, la quetsche, la reine-claude, la prune d'Agen. La prune se consomme crue, cuite ou séchée. [...] La prune d'Agen, devenue célèbre à travers le monde, est cultivée pour la préparation des pruneaux. Ceux-ci sont obtenus en faisant sécher au soleil, puis au four doux, des prunes d'une belle couleur violet rosé qui peuvent ainsi être consommées longtemps après leur cueillette. 1, record 1, French, - prune%20d%27Agen
