Umeboshi are salted, pickled plums native to Japan and a staple of traditional Japanese cuisine. Made from ume fruit, which is similar to apricots, these tangy, intensely sour plums are preserved with salt and sometimes shiso leaves, giving them a vibrant reddish hue. Umeboshi are rich in antioxidants and organic acids, which may aid digestion, support liver function, and help combat fatigue. They also contain small amounts of vitamins A and C, as well as calcium and iron. However, they're high in sodium due to the intense salting process, so consumption in moderation is advised, especially for individuals watching their salt intake. Umeboshi are often enjoyed as a condiment, a filling for rice balls, or as a flavor enhancer in sauces and marinades, offering both health benefits and an unmistakable burst of flavor to dishes.
