Umeboshi Fermented Pickled Plums - Nature's Probiotic

Umeboshi plums are fermented plums, rich in probiotics. For over a thousand  years they have been valued as a powerful digestive aid. Asian cultures use this fruit to rejuvenate the gut, as an anti-bacterial, anti-candida, and anti-parasitic. It also combats eczema and psoriasis, fights fatigue and aids the liver.  

OUR SMALL UMEBOSHI PLUMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE SMALL SIZED PLUMS ARE RENOWNED IN ASIA FOR THEIR HIGH QUALITY, FLAVOR AND NUTRITIONAL VALUE.  

How is pickled Umeboshi plum made?

The little plums are fermented with sea salt and shiso leaves, sometimes for many years.  The result is an incredibly alkaline, probiotic rich, pickled fruit with a host of health benefits.  The shiso leaves have many medicinal health benefits themselves, and they contribute to the antimicrobial and infection-fighting components of the umeboshi plums.

Unfortunately many companies use artificial dyes and preservatives to keep costs down.

Plus they are usually shipped overseas in plastic container, completely destroying their probiotics and overall nutritional benefits.
