Umeboshi Plum Paste 2oz

Umeboshi plums have been a staple of Japanese cuisine for centuries. This little fruit with a tart sourness and salty flavor is also known as Japanese plum or Japanese apricot, as the ume fruit is closely related to the apricot. Although this tasty fruit paste is very acidic, it happens to be very alkaline forming in the body, and acts as an excellent flavor booster in salad dressings, dips, or applied as a marinade. Umeboshi paste helps support digestion and liver health, so it makes a great addition to a miso broth to wake up the digestion first thing in the morning to stimulate appetite, and to help the elimination pathways of the body, supporting the elimination of toxins. Umeboshi plums also happen to improve and support bone health, as well as strengthening the teeth and balance blood sugar. Our Umeboshi is traditionally prepared, high quality paste that will delight the senses. Be sure to keep your Umeboshi Plum Paste refrigerated before and after opening. Use a clean spoon each time you get more Umeboshi Plum Paste, being careful not to introduce outside bacteria to the jar.
