This smooth, ruby red puree is a convenient kitchen delight as well as high quality food. Spread it on sushi rolls, corn-on-the-cob; use it in tofu dips and salad dressings for a w onderfully tart, sweet-sour-salty flavor. Deep ruby red, perfect whole plums impart a delightfully tangy, sweet, salty, sour flavor to almost any dish you can imagine, from soups and beverages to grains, vegetables, sauces, dips and dressings. Ohsawa Umeboshi Plums are grown in the mountains of Japan on rich volcanic soil. What is Umeboshi?Its place in the kitchen is central. Its complex sweet/salty, tart flavor enhances and gives balance to acidic foods. Use umeboshi to replace salt in dressings, spreads and sauces, and to season soups, grains and vegetables. Umeboshi is a fermented raw food that will keep indefinitely at room temperature and inhibit growth of harmful bacteria. Shiso (perilla) contains the bioflavonoid anthocyan, a powerful antioxidant.
