Umeboshi Plums.

When I read The Kind Diet a little over a year ago, I was intrigued by one item recommended for weekly consumption...

Umeboshi plums.

You can't find them in the produce aisle... As they are pickled plums. And it appears you don't even need to refrigerate them - though I do.

You eat one a week. They give you a nice buzz right after eating. A boost of energy! But warning: THEY ARE VERY SOUR AND VERY SALTY.

Like you can not imagine! Oh my God! They make your mouth pucker! And there is a pit right in the middle of them, so be careful of that too.
