Mara and Willow King are the groovy girls behind this incredible company and they call themselves probiotic pickleteers. The Umeboshi is a pickled plum that is common in Japan and has an incredibly strong salty and sour taste. I did not know how well I would do with this food (for the record it was my first time) but my boldness rewarded me! I was drawn into the complexity of the taste and it stabilized my sugar high from all of the other expo west samples I had previously been consuming. While this food is acidic, it alkalizes the body and serves as a dietary staple for preventative medicine.
