Fruit
Stem
Plum stem is the pedicel that held the fruit on the plant—usually removed before eating, occasionally left on for market presentation of whole fruit. Pluck or snip stems at prep unless a recipe wants them for hanging or display. They are not a primary food part; compost clean trimmings. Focus flavour work on ripe flesh Even lengths cook more evenly in the pan or steamer.

History
Orchard packers left short plum stems on fruit for handling and visual freshness in markets.
Home cooks routinely de-stemmed plum before pies, jams and fresh service.
Processing lines automated stem removal for plum destined for canning and purée.
