Nutritional value of dark plum
Plum is the fruit with the largest content of organic acids, and the content of organic acids is generally 3.0%-6.5%, which is much higher than that of ordinary fruits. The organic acids contained in it mainly include citric acid, malic acid, tannic acid, bitter folic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid and so on. Organic acids in fruits have the functions of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, stimulating appetite and eliminating fatigue.
The content of citric acid in the fruit of Prunus mume is higher than that of lemon, which is an indispensable acid for human cell metabolism. It can promote the decomposition of lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water to be excreted, restore fatigue, and be beneficial to the absorption of calcium.

The acidity and alkalinity of body fluids can be regulated by diet, so scientists further put forward the viewpoint of improving diet structure, eating more alkaline foods and improving health and intelligence.
The content of alkaline substances in dark plum is much higher than that of acidic substances, and its rich organic acids will become alkaline substances after metabolism in the body.
