Umeboshi are Japanese salt-pickled plums. Red shiso leaves are added during the fermentation process to impart a reddish colour and natural flavouring. These plums may be small but due to the high content of citric acid they pack a mouth-puckering lemony, salty punch and can be an acquired taste – at first! They are considered a Japanese superfood‚ acting as an immune booster and digestion aid. Use them as a side dish in a bento box, packed inside onigiri rice balls or even in a dressing or vinaigrette!
