Spiral Foods Organic Umeboshi Plums

Product Description

Spiral Foods Umeboshi are plums pickled in brine along with shiso leaves, giving them a brilliant red colour and a flavour that’s both fruity and strongly salty. The Japanese usually eat them with rice, and they take their umeboshi very seriously – as does Spiral. These handmade umeboshi are grown organically and allowed to ripen for an extra month to fully mature their flavour. Once picked, they’re immediately put in a brine customised for each batch by highly experienced farmers. The initial pickling is followed by three days of sun-drying, then additional pickling to optimise the flavour.

Ingredients: Ume Plums, Sea Salt, Shiso Leaves
