Umeboshi Plums 150g Spiral Foods

Umeboshi Plums 150g from Spiral Foods are organic ume fruit that have been salted and naturally fermented with shiso leaves. This process creates the intense, sour and salty flavour that umeboshi are known for. These plums are used in Japanese cuisine as a condiment, seasoning and digestive aid.

The plums contain organic ume fruit at just under seventy percent. They are preserved using sea salt and shiso leaves which contribute colour, aroma and flavour. Umeboshi are traditionally eaten with rice, added to onigiri, mixed into dressings, or used to flavour vegetables, sauces and broths. Because they are naturally very salty, they are used sparingly to enhance the taste of a dish.
