Umeboshi are actually a pickled apricot that closely resembles a plum. Known for their salty and sour taste, umeboshi have a unique, refreshing flavour and a distinctive aroma.
Umeboshi are made by pickling apricots in salt, sugar and vinegar for several months. This process gives them a tangy and salty flavour, with a hint of sweetness and a unique umami taste that can complement a wide range of dishes.
Eaten as delicacy just as they are or boiled and seasoned with rice, they can be used in a variety of dishes, including rice bowls, salads, dressings and marinades. They can also be touched briefly to the grill to accentuate their fruit filled fragrance or added to a cake for a delicious umami taste. Umeboshi also work very well as an original garnish for cocktails and mocktails.
Umeboshi plums are also known for their nutritional benefits. They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, including potassium, calcium and iron, making them a healthy and nutritious addition to your diet.
