Generally, no, plums are not crunchy. They are typically juicy and have a soft, smooth flesh.
However, there are some situations where a plum might seem crunchy:
- Unripe plums: Plums harvested too early may be firm and less juicy, which some might describe as slightly crunchy. They won't have developed their full sweetness either.
- Late-season varieties: Certain late-season plum varieties naturally have denser flesh. While these plums shouldn't be hard, the density could be perceived differently compared to softer varieties. However, these should still be sweet.
In summary, while most plums are known for their soft texture, unripe or certain late-season types might offer a firmer, less-than-typical experience.
