Introduction of Hua Mei:
Huamei is a popular traditional Chinese food known for its sweet and sour taste and unique flavor. Usually made from plums, which are pickled and dried.
This flavor combination gives umeboshi its unique flavor due to the natural sourness of the plums and the added sugar, while also making it a popular snack with the main ingredient being plums. Ripe plums are picked, washed and dried, and then pickled with salt. The pickling process intensifies the sour flavor of the plums and extends their shelf life.
Addition of sugar: In order to add sweetness and balance the sour taste of plums, sugar is usually added to pickled plums, which has a balanced taste of sweet and sour and is more delicious.
Drying and Packing: After curing, the plums are dried to remove excess moisture and make them softer. The dried plums are then packaged into small packages or cans suitable for consumption.
Dried plums are a snack popular among consumers.
