The ume plum has been recognized by the Chinese as powerful medicine for thousands of years. Over 7 lbs of fresh green plums are cooked down to a mere 2.3 oz of thick, dark syrupover 30 times stronger than umeboshi (pickled plums) and contains no salt.
Stir a small amount into tea or hot water for a delicious "pick-me-up".

Ohsawa Oindo Umeboshi Plums are handcrafted at the Oindo Family farm in Japans rural Nara Prefecture. The Oindos grow their plums on rich, volcanic soil farmed by their ancestors since the fourteenth century.

The ume plum has been recognized by the Chinese as powerful medicine for thousands of years. Even though it originated in China, the ume plum in Japan has evolved to contain higher levels of organic acid and minerals. Citric acid separates lactic acid into carbonic acid and water and expels them from the body. Daily intake of umeboshi or ume concentrate, which contains large amounts of citric acid, may help reduce fatigue and slow the aging process.
