Top 5 Best-Selling Salty Plum Products You Should Try at TSG Gordonvale
TSG Gordonvale is your go-to source for the best-selling salty plums in Australia — and if you've been wondering which variety to try first, you've come to exactly the right place. Below, we break down our top 5 fan-favourite salty plum products that fly off the shelves every single week in 2026.
What Makes a Great Salty Plum? (How to Choose)
Not all salty plums are created equal. The best ones strike a precise balance between saltiness, sweetness, and a lingering sour finish, all while maintaining the right texture, whether soft and chewy or firm and slightly crisp.
When buying salty plums in Australia, look for three key indicators before you commit:
- Texture: Should be tender but never mushy or chalk-dry. A satisfying chew signals a fresh, well-cured plum.
- Salt balance: The coating should enhance the plum's natural flavour, not bury it.
- Freshness: Vibrant colour, moist interior, and no stale or dusty smell = fresh stock.
At TSG Gordonvale, every batch is hand-selected and restocked weekly — so you always receive product at peak quality.

Golden Fish Sweet & Sour Red Salty Plum 100g
The Tangy Star — Bold, Bright & Refreshing
Product: Golden Fish Sweet & Sour Red Salty Plum 100g
Size / Origin: 100 g · China
Price: Buy in store / online
What It Is
Golden Fish Sweet & Sour Red Salty Plum 100g takes the classic formula and cranks up the tangy dimension.

Taste Profile & Texture
Upfront sweet-sour brightness, then a wave of salt, finishing clean and refreshing. The flavour sits midway between classic salty plum and a lightly sour candy — which makes it especially addictive.
Who Should Buy This?
Sour lovers, those who find pure salty plums too one-dimensional, and anyone who wants a snack that also helps with digestion and refreshing the palate. The 100g pack is ideal for daily snacking.
Buying tip: Try one after a heavy or spicy meal. The sour-salty combination is a brilliant natural palate cleanser and gentle digestive aid.

Xie Xie Red Seedless Salty Plum 45g
The Easy Snacker — Pit-Free & Always Ready
Product: Xie Xie Red Seedless Salty Plum 45g
Size / Origin: 45 g · China
Price: $3.79 (Bulk discounts available)
What It Is
Xie Xie Red Seedless Salty Plum 45g delivers all the bold, chewy, sweet-salty-tangy flavour of a traditional salty plum — with zero hassle. The stone is removed before drying, leaving a generous, flat piece of deeply flavoured plum flesh that you can pop in your mouth in one clean bite.

Because the flesh is fully exposed during curing, the salt and seasoning penetrate all the way through, giving a more uniformly intense flavour than seeded varieties. Bold, slightly chewy, and deeply savoury from start to finish.
Who Should Buy This?
Busy commuters, on-the-go snackers, desk workers, and parents who want a fuss-free salty plum for older kids. The compact 45g size fits any bag or pocket.
