Useful information:
The combination of umeboshi and
twig tea is good for strengthening the
blood and circulation through regula-
tion of digestion. Umeboshi is a tradi-
tional pickled plum in Japan, usually
round in shape, and varies from
unwrinkled to very wrinkled. It has a
salty and sour fl avor, with a very
alkaline composition, and contains
citric acid, calcium, phosphorus,
potassium and iron.
The Japanese believe that eating
umeboshi has a detoxifying effect
on the body and can promote health.
An old Japanese saying claims that
umeboshi assists three detox ac-
tions: one for our food, a second for
our water, and a third for our blood.
In Japan, umeboshi is also added
to okayu (Japanese congee) as a
remedy for colds and fl u. I use the
umeboshi pit instead of sea salt or
kombu when cooking whole grains,
and I like to put the pit in my mouth
when I go hiking to stimulate
saliva fl ow so that I don’t need to
drink much water. Additionally, the
seed inside the pit is edible and is
believed to improve vision and
assist intestinal function.
