Umeboshi plums 1000g

Umeboshi is the fruit of the Japanese apricot tree, processed in salt brine and then in vinegar, so that it can be eaten as it is not edible in its fresh state. Ume means "plum" and boshi, "dried".

Salt slows aging process and naturally preserves fruit, while vinegar balances umeboshi sour flavor. Japanese people attribute medicinal virtues to umeboshi, including ability to boost immunity. Its high citric acid content aids digestion and stimulates liver to create a detoxifying effect on the body.

Some say that samurai used to carry it with them at all times during battle, in order to cure illnesses...
