In late June, the period of making plum syrup, called the "natural fire extinguisher", is coming to an end. Plums harvested in June are known to have the most suitable sugar content and acidity for making plum syrup. After mid-June, it is also the time when amigdalin, a toxic component, naturally decomposes.
Plums, which have been widely used to relieve gastrointestinal disorders, are rich in citric acid (citric acid) and apple acid, which promote digestive fluid secretion and activate gastrointestinal movement, which are effective for indigestion, gastritis, stomach upset, and food poisoning. In addition, picric acid and catechin acid contained in plum decompose toxic substances and exert a strong sterilizing effect, proving their antibacterial ability against food poisoning bacteria such as dysentery, typhoid bacteria, and E. coli. Catechinic acid and appleic acid promote intestinal movement and remove harmful bacteria, helping prevent chronic diarrhea and constipation.
Citric acid, along with apple acid and vitamin C, has a strong antioxidant effect that helps prevent cell damage and aging. It is also excellent in relieving fatigue by decomposing fatigue substances such as lactic acid accumulated in the body. Pumpkinic acid in plum also protects liver health and helps break down fatigue substances.
In addition, 100g of plum contains 28mg of calcium, and citric acid is known to be effective in improving osteoporosis by helping to absorb calcium.
However, plum is processed into green, pickles, and tea due to its toxic components, and in this case, excessive intake can cause blood sugar rise, obesity, and gastrointestinal disorders, so care should be taken.
