Umeboshi from Japan are botanically a type of apricot. However, they are often referred to as plums. They are known as umeboshi plums. They have excellent physiological effects, most notably a strong alkalizing effect on the stomach and intestinal tract.

In Japan, they are pickled and fermented in sea salt with shiso for approximately six months in large wooden barrels. They are then packaged as salted plums in jars or processed into puree. This process produces a high-quality product that can exert its soothing effect, especially on hyperacid stomachs and intestines, without side effects.

Since they are very salty (Yang) and often only very small amounts are needed, they should be used carefully in small portions, e.g. as a spice paste for pies, spreads and dishes or as an infusion.

Recipe for hyperacidity:
Bring 100 ml of water to a boil, while stirring 1 tablespoon of kuzu into cold water.
Remove boiling water from the heat and stir the kuzu, which has been dissolved in cold water and mixed thoroughly, into the hot water until a smooth, glassy porridge forms. Now stir 1 level teaspoon of umeboshi puree into the porridge and enjoy warm.

You can stir parts of an umeboshi plum or the umeboshi puree into a ready-made soup, or stir it into cooked vegetables to add more flavor to the dish.
