Salt pickled Umeboshi plums with shiso herb in a 1kg tub

Product Details

Clearspring Organic Umeboshi is a delicously zesty and versatile seasoning, entirely handmade to the traditional method. Premium organic ume (Japanese plums) are gathered in mountain orchards, pickled in sea salt, sun dried and aged for up to a year. Shiso is added to impart its deep red colour.

Serving Suggestion

Used to add lively tanginess to cooked vegetables, salad dressings, quick pickles, sushi, dips, spreads and sauces. The shiso leaves can be chopped and used as additional seasoning.

Usage

Umeboshi Plums are curiously renounded for helping to remedy hang-overs, sugar-blues, food poisoning and constipation. Some are even convinced they help with the common cold. The funny thing is that Umeboshi Plums are not really plums at but rather a species of apricot.
