A surprising seasoning !

In Asia, sesame has been used for centuries where it is acclaimed for its many medicinal properties. Hippocrates, the anicent Greek physician, recommended it for its oustanding nutritional properties.

Umeboshi plums are really a type of apricot.

Sesame seeds with Umeboshi plums are deliciously light and truly irresistible! These beautiful, amazing, crunchy pink seeds, create an almost bubbly sensation on your tongue! Perfect for brightening up a bowl of rice, salads and soups.
