Japanese Plum (Umeboshi)

Superfood for everyday warriors!

Legend has it that Samurai warriors were fuelled by them when heading into battle. Today, it is used by people as a superfood to get an extra energy boost and generally helping with digestion.

Umeboshi is obtained from the fruit called umé, a variety of apricot, although it is commonly considered a plum. The umé is selected, washed, marinated with salt, preserved and bleached with shiso leaves, in a fermentation process that lasts several months. It increases its content in citric acid, one of its fundamental elements in its health effects. In addition to its contribution of citric acid, umé stands out for its high content of vitamins, minerals, calcium, iron and phosphorus.
