Eden Umeboshi Paste, Pickled Ume Plum Puree, Artisan Made in Japan, No MSG, No Chemical Additives, 7oz

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.

I really like Eden's products. Excellent and delicious.

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.

This is delicious and very convenient to use.

The product was good although the container was substandard. I had to put the product in sealable different container.

Try another brand

I add a half teaspoon to meals most resembling casseroles. It goes well in sauces to add a bit of umami, even Italian or Spanish style dishes.
