Pickled plum, known as umeboshi in Japanese cuisine, is a tangy, salty, and sometimes slightly sweet preserved fruit made from Japanese plums (ume). These plums are typically pickled with salt and sometimes mixed with red shiso leaves, giving them a vibrant reddish hue. Umeboshi is a staple in Japanese culinary tradition, often used as a rice topping, a filling for rice balls (onigiri), or a tangy ingredient in sauces and marinades. Nutritionally, pickled plums are low in calories but high in sodium due to the salt used in preservation. They are a good source of antioxidants and organic acids, which may aid in digestion and support gut health. Additionally, umeboshi is believed to have alkalizing properties and may help combat fatigue. However, individuals monitoring their sodium intake should consume them sparingly. Pickled plums offer bold flavor alongside potential health benefits in moderation.
