Ume Su is a traditional Japanese seasoning with a rich history, dating back to the Edo Period in the 1600s. This unique, vinegar-like tanginess is growing in popularity worldwide, adding depth and complexity to a wide variety of dishes. Made by carefully pickling Umeboshi plums with red Perilla leaves, Clearspring Organic Ume Su enhances salads, dips, vegetables, dressings, and even makes an intriguing addition to pickling mixtures or cocktails. Produced sustainably and organically by a 4th-generation family farm in Wakayama prefecture, Japan, where the Umeboshi trees are not grafted and some are over 70 years old. The farm grows Ume plums without any fertilisers, naturally and vegan-friendly. Authentically Japanese, sustainably produced, and packed with flavour—this is the perfect seasoning to elevate your meals.
