Ceres Umeboshi Plum Vinegar (Organic) - 250ml

Umebosi vinegar is a lively and versatile condiment. Its ruby red and festive, with a tangy, fruity and salty flavour. Ume vinegar is a by product from the traditional Japanese pickling of Umeboshi Plums, with added salt and shiso (beefsteak) leaves. Ironically, its powerful acidity (from citric acid) has a paradoxical alkalinizing effect on the body, neutralizing and restoring health. Healing properties include: stimulating digestion (perfect after holiday feasting), offsetting fatigue, breaking down lactic acid in sore muscles and even taming the worst hangovers by promoting the elimination of toxins.   Holding similar properties to the plum, yet more convenient to use, ume vinegar is a simple and tasty, yet effective addition to your cooking repertoire. Liven up salads with ume dressing, add to cooked rice and fluff with a fork, sprinkle over steamed vegetables or leafy greens (great on steamed silverbeet) or sprinkle over freshly cooked fish for a refreshing surprise. When substituting for other types of vinegar reduce the amount used or eliminate the salt in the recipe. Make Ume Vinegar your New Years’ resolution.
