Hi Nancy, The plums are considered a condomint for seasoning foods such as brown rice, salads etc. Americans would use the likes of ketchup, or mustard, hot sauce in its stead. Generally, they are used sparingly, from half a plum to a whole. They are not usually eaten alone. Umeboshi plums are fermented products that are high in iron, thiamin, and riboflavin. Like other fermented foods, they are beneficial to digestion, stimulating the secretion of digestive fluids in the stomach and enhancing the growth of healthy bacterial cultures in the intestinal tract. If a persons digestive system is sensititve or compromised just one plum eaten alone has the potential to keep your intestines busy purging for an entire day. Best regards, Carol Ann

Perhaps any plum would work. Methley bears very heavily for me. Nancy W. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
