What's Inside a Plum?

Have you ever tried to eat a plum? They are juicy and delicious! But did you know that inside a plum, there is something very hard? Let's find out!

Step 1: Look at the Outside

First, when you see a plum, it looks smooth and soft. It can be purple, red, or yellow. This soft skin keeps the juicy part inside safe!

Step 2: What is Inside?

When you bite into a plum, you first taste the sweet, juicy part called the flesh. It’s soft and yummy! But if you keep eating, you’ll reach a hard part in the middle.

Step 3: The Hard Part

This hard part is called the pit or stone. It is very hard and usually brown or gray. The pit protects the seed inside it.

Step 4: What Happens with the Pit?

The pit is important because inside that pit, there is a seed. If you plant that seed in the ground, it can grow into a new plum tree! Isn’t that amazing?

Step 5: Summary

So, when you eat a delicious plum, remember that inside, there is a soft, juicy part and a hard pit that holds the seed. Next time you eat a plum, take a moment to think about the journey of that fruit from tree to your hands!
