Pickled plums, often referred to as umeboshi in Japanese cuisine, are a tangy, salty, and intensely flavored food made by fermenting and drying unripened plums, typically with salt and occasionally shiso leaves for added color and flavor. Originating from Japan, they have been a staple in traditional diets for centuries, frequently enjoyed as a condiment, paired with rice, or used to aid digestion. Nutritionally, pickled plums are rich in antioxidants, citric acid, and potassium, making them supportive of gut health and potentially helpful in reducing fatigue. Their fermentation process boosts probiotics, contributing to a healthy microbiome. However, they are high in sodium due to the salting process, and excessive consumption may not be suitable for those monitoring their salt intake. Despite this, their unique flavor and health benefits make them a cherished item in culinary and nutritional practices.
