What is umeboshi?

For over a thousand years, umeboshi have been a cherished part of Japanese life — traditionally eaten over rice, in an onigiri (rice ball) or as part of a bento box.

A stone fruit preserved through salting and fermentation, they've historically been revered for their flavor and power to fortify the body.
