Umeboshi 200g

Umeboshi

We have scoured Japan to find the very best plump, juicy Umeboshi with a perfect balance of salty sourness. The bright red colour comes from the inclusion on Red Shiso that enhances both the flavour and antioxidant load of this delicious fruit.

Umeboshi are one of the original Superfoods, used traditionally in Chinese and Japanese medicine for over 3000 years. They're salty, sour, fragrant and an essential part of a balanced Japanese breakfast. They are also a secret ingredient for top chefs and mixologists wanting to add extra zing to their creations.

Our favourite thing about Umeboshi is they have powerful digestive characteristics so they are excellent for settling the stomach after indulging in too much food or sake. For recipes calling for Umeboshi paste simply remove the fruit from the stone and pass though a sieve. Umeboshi can also be muddled in hot water or green tea as a pick me up.
