How it works
Umeboshi paste has been valued in traditional Japanese culture for centuries for its harmonising properties. The base consists of the Ume, a fruit closely related to the plum and the apricot. Through a natural fermentation process with sea salt and Shiso leaves, a powerful paste is created with a characteristic salty and sour flavour profile. This unique combination helps to bring out the natural flavours in your daily meals, while at the same time making a mild, supportive contribution to your overall well-being and digestion.
