✦ Anthocyanins
✦ Vitamin C
✦ Dietary fibre
✦ Polyphenols
Black plums are dark-skinned dessert plums with sweet, juicy flesh, often a deep red or amber under purple-black skin. Like other plums they provide vitamin C, fibre and skin-bound polyphenols including anthocyanins.
🍳
Preparation note
Eat raw and ripe with the skin on to retain anthocyanins and vitamin C; the dark skin is the main source of polyphenols.

Why are some phytochemicals missing? Nutriofia tracks over 50 bioactive plant compounds — including allicin, betanin, glucosinolates, lignans, and polyphenols — but comprehensive measurement data simply doesn't exist yet for most foods. Unlike vitamins and minerals, phytochemical analysis is still an active area of food science research. When a compound doesn't appear here, it means no published measurement exists for this food, not that the food lacks it. We update our database as new data becomes available.
Primary data source for this entry:
USDA FoodData Central (FDC 2025). Values adjusted to UK measurement conventions before import: fibre converted from AOAC to NSP (×0.7); carbohydrate reported as available carbs (fibre excluded). Source record tag: USDA FDC 2025.
Phytochemical data: USDA Flavonoid Database Release 3.3 (2018) and published analytical literature as indicated on each compound.
All values are per 100g fresh weight unless stated.
