Product Name: Fengtang Plum (Honey Plum)
Description:
Fengtang Plum, also known as the Honey Plum, is a premium Chinese plum variety from the mountainous region of Zhenning County, Guizhou Province. First selected from local seedling varieties in 2010 and nationally certified in 2018, it has become one of China’s most sought-after premium plum varieties. Its name comes from its exceptional sweetness – a flavor so rich and pure it resembles honey.
Appearance:
The fruit is oval to nearly round, with a light yellow-green skin covered in a thick, waxy gray-white bloom – a sign of freshness and quality. The flesh is pale yellow, fine, crisp, and remarkably juicy.
Flavor:
Exceptionally sweet with almost no sourness, the Fengtang Plum offers a soluble solids content of 16.1% and soluble sugar of 13.54%, with a pleasingly low acidity of just 0.77%. Each bite delivers a crisp, refreshing crunch followed by a wave of honey-like sweetness.
Consumer Appeal:
With a small, freestone pit that separates easily from the flesh and an edible rate of nearly 98%, this plum is as economical as it is delicious. It can be stored for over a week at room temperature, making it ideal for gifting and shipping.
Market Positioning:
Recognized as a Guizhou Geographical Indication product and successfully exported to Thailand and other international markets, the Fengtang Plum is positioned as a premium Asian specialty fruit.
Harvest Season:
Late June – a mid-summer treasure with a limited seasonal window.
