Each variety not only impresses with its outstanding quality but also carries a distinct flavor personality that caters to different tastes. In this article, we will explore each salted plum in detail—comparing their colors, flavors, salt-sweet balance, and unique serving suggestions—so that whether you’re a first-time buyer or a loyal fan, you can discover the perfect match for your palate.
1. Pink Lady White Salty Plum – Classic and Timeless
Appearance & Texture
The Pink Lady White Salty Plum features an elegant off-white hue with a subtle blush and a smooth surface that reflects its careful salt-curing process and precisely controlled freeze-drying. The plum retains a plump, slightly glossy exterior, offering a delightful bite.
Flavor Profile
A fine balance is achieved between the crisp tartness of fresh plum and the mild saltiness of Himalayan pink salt. With sugar balanced by a touch of sucralose and aspartame, the tartness is gently softened without overpowering the fruit’s natural character. TSG nutrition experts consider Pink Lady the ideal choice for those seeking lower refined sugar while still satisfying a sweet craving.
Packaging & Weight
Each 70g pack is sealed with a zipper and nitrogen-flushed to extend its shelf life for up to 6–8 weeks after opening. Its secure packaging makes it a practical snack for work, school, or travel.
Usage Suggestions
Pink Lady is perfect for a post-lunch nibble or as a mid-day refreshment when paired with a cup of green tea or oolong tea—the subtle interplay of tart and salt awakens the taste buds. For baking enthusiasts, finely chopped Pink Lady can be mixed into cookie dough or used to create a glaze for roast meats, adding an extra layer of sweet-and-tart flavor.
2. Red Darwin Seedless Salty Plum – Bold in Hue and Flavor
Appearance & Texture
In contrast to the Pink Lady, the Red Darwin boasts a deep, brilliant red skin and is completely seedless, giving it a more luxurious and enticing look. Its freeze-drying process and careful de-seeding result in a soft, chewy texture that makes every bite satisfying.
Flavor Profile
Red Darwin leans into a richer sweetness, followed by a clean, refreshing tang and a light salty aftertaste. The salt level is meticulously adjusted so that it does not overpower the fresh plum flavor, which is why this variety is highly adored by those craving an exquisitely balanced taste.
Packaging & Weight
Packaged in a compact 40g pouch, Red Darwin is perfectly portioned for a quick snack or for sampling. Like all our products, it is sealed with a zipper and nitrogen-flushed—ideal to slip into a pocket or bag for an energy boost on the go.
Usage Suggestions
Red Darwin Seedless Salty Plum is tailored for athletes, active individuals, or office workers in need of a quick energy fix. Enjoy it on its own or briefly dip each plum in water or lemonade to slightly tone down the saltiness while savoring its full flavor. It also works wonderfully as an ingredient in fruit salads or sprinkled over a plate of fresh fruits to add a tangy-sweet twist.
3. Xie Xie Sweet Plum – Delicate, Naturally Sweet, with Eastern Character
Appearance & Texture
Xie Xie Sweet Plum is available in two versions: one with a light pink skin and another with an off-white finish. Both variants reflect meticulous fruit selection and careful drying. The plum maintains its whole shape, offering a dry yet tender bite that easily separates layer by layer without being overly crunchy.
Flavor Profile
Unlike the more tart salted varieties, Xie Xie emphasizes a naturally sweet flavor with minimal salt while still retaining the distinctive dried plum aroma. Enhanced by pure cane sugar and a hint of sea salt, its lingering sweetness makes it an ideal choice for those who favor naturally sweet dried fruits.
Packaging & Weight
The Sweet Plum comes in a generous 75g pack, perfect for sharing with friends or family. It too is packaged with a secure zipper and nitrogen-flushed to maintain freshness for an extended period.
Usage Suggestions
Xie Xie Sweet Plum is an excellent companion for breakfast—sprinkle it over your cereal, yogurt, or blend it into overnight oats with chia seeds for a nutritious start. For pastry lovers, try stuffing Xie Xie into steamed buns or sandwiches—the gentle sweetness of the plum offers a distinctive twist to your treats.

Storage and Preservation Tips
No matter which variety you choose, remember to follow the guiding principles of “Airtight – Dry – Cool – Dark”:
• Seal the package tightly with its zipper or transfer the contents into an airtight glass jar or plastic container immediately after opening.
• Store in a dry area, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
• For salted plums and dried prunes, refrigerate at 4–8°C to extend the freshness to 6–8 weeks after opening.
• Use food-grade silica gel desiccant packs to help control moisture inside the packaging.
