Pluots are a recently developed hybrid that are a cross between a plum and an apricot. Specifically, they are ¾ plum and ¼ apricot in terms of percentages. They look more like a plum, but are softer and sweeter like an apricot. Due to their speckled skin, they're sometimes called "dinosaur plums."

They have a very intense taste and are delicious. Give them a try! Trader Joe's also sells dehydrated pluots.
