Product Name: Tongxiang Zuili Plum

Description:
The Tongxiang Zuili Plum is not just a fruit – it is a piece of living history. Cultivated for over 2,500 years in Zhejiang, China, this heritage variety is widely regarded as the "King of Plums" and was once a tribute fruit presented to Chinese emperors . Today, it is protected as a National Agricultural Geographical Indication Product .

A "Drinkable" Plum – An Experience Like No Other

What makes the Zuili Plum truly unique is its extraordinary texture. When freshly harvested, the flesh is crisp and firm. But after a few days, it magically liquefies into a thick, aromatic juice. To enjoy it, simply place the ripe fruit in your palm, gently massage until it turns to pulp, pierce the skin with a straw or your teeth, and drink the sweet, honey-like liquid – leaving only the skin and pit behind .

Flavor & Aroma:

The ripe juice is intensely sweet with a delicate wine-like aroma – a flavor profile unparalleled among plums. Soluble solids content reaches 15.1%–17.0% Brix, and can exceed 20% in premium fruit .

Legendary “Xishi’s Nail Mark”:

Each fruit bears a small, nail-like mark near the top. According to legend, this was left by the ancient beauty Xishi when she paused to taste the fruit . Fruits bearing this distinctive mark are considered the finest quality.

Appearance:

The fruit is flat-round with a beautiful dark purplish-red skin, dusted with a white powdery bloom and speckled with tiny golden dots . The flesh is honey-yellow when soft and translucent.

Size:

Average weight is 50g–70g, with premium fruits reaching up to 125g .

Harvest Season:

Available for a brief window from mid-June to mid-July. Due to its delicate nature and short shelf life, this rare fruit is available only for a limited time each year.

Market Note:

Positioned as an ultra-premium specialty fruit, premium Zuili plums can command prices of ¥20 per fruit or more, making them a prized gift item and a favorite among connoisseurs
