Umeboshi 150 g COUNTRY LIFE

Product detailed description

Discover the magic of Japanese ume plums pickled in sea salt with shiso leaves. They are great just like that and add an exotic flavor not only to salads!

In Japan, the paste from these plums is traditionally used to flavor rice. Umeboshi is also used to prepare a variety of flavor-specific products, such as candies and teas. Be careful when using umeboshi plums. They have a very strong sour-salty flavor and therefore only a little is enough for flavoring. Umeboshi is also often used in macrobiotics.

Umeboshi plums - as they are often called in our country, are the stone fruits of the ume tree. However, this fruit tree is actually a variety of apricot. No artificial dyes are used in the production, and it is the Shiso leaves that give the plums their red color.

Umeboshi plums are harvested in the spring. They are salted on the day of harvest and then left to dry in the sun for several days. Once they are almost dry, they are placed in a brine, weighed down with stones, and left to ferment. The red liquid that is secreted during the fermentation of plums is called ume-su, in Czech it is called ume vinegar (although this product actually has nothing to do with vinegar).
