A NATURAL FLU MEDICINE
The natural organic acids contained in Umeboshi means there are antibacterial properties that work to strengthen your body’s resistance to cough, cold, flu, fever and a sore throat by destroying the bad bacteria before an infection can develop. Umeboshi simultaneously improves appetite as well as it helps digestion, making it SUPER beneficial to have Umeboshi when you are sick. Traditionally, in Japan, rice porridge and Umeboshi is the typical food for those who are sick.
THE RIGHT UMEBOSHI
The real, traditional Umeboshi are naturally sun-dried, however, much of the Umeboshi you can buy today are soaked in a solution that contains A LOT of MSG and sugar – NASTIES! These Umeboshi will NOT be any good for you or your health so make sure to check the label of the Umeboshi in case you pick up the wrong ones! If in doubt, the Umeboshi you can buy from health food stores are usually reliable and don’t have nasties in them!
Umeboshi under the sun
Unfortunately, in most cases today, being able to identify whether Umeboshi is sun-dried requires you to be able to read Japanese.
The rest you know!
