How they differ

Peaches (Yellow, Raw) is the leaner, lower-calorie choice. Plum is higher in carbohydrate. That makes Peaches (Yellow, Raw) more relevant when you want a lighter, lower-calorie option, and Plum when you want quicker-energy carbohydrate.

Bottom line

Per 100 g, Peaches (Yellow, Raw) provides 42 kcal, 0.9 g protein and 10.1 g carbohydrate; Plum provides 59 kcal, 0.6 g protein and 13.5 g carbohydrate.

That is a difference of 17 kcal per 100 g.

A peach is the larger and more watery of the two; a plum is denser and sweeter per 100 g. Both are stone fruit that ripen after picking, so the one that is hard in the shop will still get there on the counter — which is not true of berries.

In short: peach is the lighter option per 100 g, but with fruit the portion on the plate usually matters more than the difference between them.
