For a short time in the month of March, a fleeting delicacy is born. Named after a town in the southwest of France known for high quality fruit, you'll discover the D’Agen Sugar Plum. Petite and super sweet, these plums are deep purple on the outside and rich amber yellow on the inside when ripe. The D'Angen is prized for its culinary range as it can be used as a key ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. We're smitten. Your turn.
