Dried Black Plum 乌梅 (Wu Mei) | (500g)

About

Dried Black Plums 乌梅 (Wu Mei) are near mature fruits that can be found in Chinese provinces such as Zhejiang, Fujian and Yunnan.

They are collected in Summer, have a burnt smell, an extremely sour taste and are astringent.

Plums belong to the same family as peaches, nectarines, and apricots. Dried Black Plums (Wu Mei) are much more diverse than their stone-fruit cousins.

They can be large or small, with red, purple, green, yellow pink, or orange skin/flesh.
These were first grown in China thousands of years ago. These black plums made their way to Japan, parts of Europe, and America.

Today, more than 2,000 varieties grow all over the world.

They can be used in a number of culinary dishes.
