Eden Umeboshi Plum – Japanese Pickled Plum from Wakayama, Whole, No MSG | 7.05 oz

Discover Eden Umeboshi Plum

Eden Umeboshi Plum is a traditional Japanese pickled plum harvested in the Wakayama region. The whole fruit is picked, sun-dried, and aged for a full year, then infused with red shiso leaves to deepen aroma and color. This 7.05 oz jar features the nanko plum variety, celebrated for juicy pulp and bright acidity. The product is made without MSG or chemical additives, reflecting Eden’s longstanding commitment to natural, carefully sourced ingredients since 1968.

Expect a bright, tart bite with a layered, savory-sour profile. The aging process and traditional pickling yield a nuanced flavor that can lift a dish without overpowering it. Because the plums are whole, you can choose a small piece for delicate garnish or a larger portion to define a dish, depending on your mood and recipe.
