Mitoku Ume Concentrate Tablets

The granule form of ume extract is called meitan. To make these ume extract balls, the extract is combined with brown rice flour to form pellets. These are very handy for traveling and for people who don't like the overly-sour taste of ume extract. Beneficial for sports over-exertion, jet-lag and especially good for sea or air sickness. Also helps alleviate headaches, sore throats, bloating, and neutralizing the effects of alcohol drinking. About 4 of these pellets are equal to 1 gram of ume extract. Salt-free.

Ingredients: concentrated ume (Japanese plum) and brown rice flour (to hold ball together).

Ume Extract is prepared by carefully cooking down the fresh juice of unripe Japanese plums. Mitoku Ume Extract uses only fresh plums which are handpicked. Each plum is a blue-green color when raw and is known as "the blue diamond." The 24 hour cooking process converts this unripe plum into a form of natural medicine. It takes 2.2 Ib. or 1 kilogram of plums to produce 0.71 oz. of extract. The extract is the pure essence of ume as no salt or alcohol is added. Ume extract is a useful dietary supplement when used in cooking or drinks. This prized salt-free alkaline tonic has many uses in Traditional Oriental Medicine. Manufactured in Japan, where family masters practice the traditional art of ume production; these ume plum extract products are the highest quality available.
