Summary

Umeboshi are a type of pickle made from ume (plums) fruits that are dried in the sun after being salted and soaked in ume vinegar. 梅干しは、梅の実を塩漬けにして梅酢に漬け込んだあと、天日干しにして作る、一種の漬物です。赤ジソの葉と一緒に漬け込むことが多く、たいていは赤色で、酸味が特徴です。
保存食品でもある梅干しは食用以外に、薬用としても重宝されてきました。
日本では特に和歌山県が梅の産地として有名で、南高梅は最高級品といわれています。
自家製の梅干しを作る家庭も多く、はちみつで漬け込んだ甘い梅干しもあります。
外国人には梅干しをまるごと口に入れて「酸っぱすぎる! これは無理!」と言う人がいるようですが、酸っぱさを感じるのは日本人も同じ。
梅干しを少しずつちぎり、ご飯などと一緒に食べれば酸味が和らぎます。
