Ume plum flavored mini pellets

Ume is the fruit of the Japanese apricot tree, usually processed in a brine of salt and vinegar.

Salt slows the aging process and naturally preserves the fruit, while vinegar balances umeboshi sour flavor. These mini ume plum granules are much sought-after by Japanese chefs and industrialists alike.

Ume plum flavor, freshness and acidity are perfectly reproduced. These mini pellets can be used in both hot and cold preparations: vegetable soups, broths, stuffings and sauces. Flavors resist heat well. You can also use them to flavor mayonnaise, or add them to a spice blend.
