Eden Foods Umeboshi Paste, 7 oz

Excellent. Smooth texture, bright tart taste. I can put it on rice or with hot water a shoyu. Good for the belly.

Great paste, good flavor, stays fresh, nice and smooth—great option if you’re looking for umeboshi

I highly recommend this Eden Umeboshi Paste. It's as good as most any you could obtain in Japan. Plus it doesn't contain the MSG and other chemicals Japanese foodstuffs are often full of. Nice clean taste. As a fan of umeboshi, this doesn't disappoint.

Yummy! And brings the tang I used to get with tomatoes. I'm not sure if I have always been sensitive to tomatoes, but during an elimination diet I discovered that nightshades (tomatoes, white potatoes, peppers, eggplant) cause me inflammation. I use a this as a replacement for tomato paste. It brings the tang and depth needed. It's saltier than tomato paste, so I don't use it one-for-one, but taste as I go. I end up using less salt too - especially in a soup broth.

Product itself is great but the container won't snap back shut, have to use two rubber bands to hold it shut.
