Ingredients

Japanese ume plums* ( 80%), shiso perilla leaves* (2%) and Sea salt (18%) (* organically grown )

Cautions

Be sure to remove pits before using the plums. The plums are very salty if eaten on their own.

Other Information

Salty/sour Umeboshi plums are one of the most alkali of foods and can be eaten straight from the jar if you are brave. More frequently they are combined with other foods (brown rice or porridge) to help balance our acidic systems. Our bodies can get too acidic for all kinds of reasons; too much sugary refined foods, or alchohol or toxins. Umboshi plums can help to redress the balance.
