What is Plum Juice?
Plum juice is a fruit drink made by pressing plums or simmering them with water and straining the liquid. The flavour and colour vary with the fruit: ripe dark plums make a deeper, sweeter drink, while less-ripe plums give it a sharper edge. It can be served chilled on its own or alongside a meal; in Turkey, homemade versions are often enjoyed cold in warm weather.
It is low in fat and protein, with most of its energy coming from carbohydrates. At 46 calories per 100 g, it can be a relatively light alternative to richer drinks. For a less sweet version, prepare it without added sugar and serve it well chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plum Juice
What are the benefits of Plum Juice?
Plum Juice provides fluid and naturally occurring plant compounds, but it is not a treatment or a substitute for eating whole fruit. Because juicing removes much of the fruit’s fiber, whole plums are generally more filling.
Does Plum Juice help with constipation?
Fresh Plum Juice is not a dependable constipation remedy. Prune juice, made from dried plums, is different: its sorbitol can help draw water into the bowel. The two drinks should not be treated as interchangeable.
How do you make Plum Juice at home?
To make Plum Juice, wash ripe plums, remove the pits, and blend the fruit with water, then strain if you prefer a clear drink. You can also simmer the plums and strain the cooled liquid; added sugar is optional.
Is Plum Juice made from fresh plums or prunes?
Plum Juice usually means juice made from fresh plums, while prune juice is made from dried plums. Prune juice tends to be more concentrated and is especially known for its sorbitol content.
Does Plum Juice have added sugar?
Not necessarily. Plum Juice can be made without added sugar, although its natural fruit sugars remain. Homemade juice lets you control additions; bottled versions may be sweetened, so check the product’s ingredients.
How long does homemade Plum Juice last in the fridge?
Keep homemade Plum Juice in a clean, sealed container in the refrigerator and drink it within a few days. Discard it if it develops an off smell, fizz, or an unusual change in taste.
Can people with diabetes drink Plum Juice?
People with diabetes can include Plum Juice, but its natural sugars can raise blood glucose, and strained juice has less fiber than whole plums. Keep the serving modest and check how it affects your own readings.
Can Plum Juice be frozen?
Yes, Plum Juice can be frozen in a freezer-safe container with room for expansion. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir before drinking if the color or pulp separates; do not refreeze it after thawing.
Is Plum Juice good for weight loss?
Plum Juice does not cause weight loss on its own. A sweetened or large serving can add sugar without the fullness of whole plums, so choose an unsweetened drink and a modest portion if you are managing your weight.
Can you drink Plum Juice every day?
Yes, most people can have Plum Juice daily as one drink choice, but it should not replace water or whole fruit. Keep the portion moderate, especially if it is sweetened or you are limiting sugar.
