Can anyone tell me where I can get umeboshi plums? I was whole foods today, but the two people I asked had never even heard of them! Thank you!!

You can find Mitoku umeboshi products from a mail order company Natural imports. Click on ume to find the choices of ume products. naturalimportscompany.comAlso try the Kushi Institute store or Gold Mine Natural.Hope this helps.

They were right under the sea vegetables section next to the asian sauces at our whole foods. However, I could not find Umeboshi vinegar. Has anyone found that at Whole Foods?

I found the paste at Whole Foods by the International sauces, but no plums either.

Hi Amy,
I am looking for the umeboshi vinegar and I haven't been able to find that either. I went to Whole Foods and Wegmans and noone has heard of it.

I have found all three at Whole Foods. All in the Asian section. I must say it took me several trips to spot the plums. They were near the top shelf next to the wasabi. The vinegar was on the bottom shelf.

I just found the plums and the paste at a natural food store near me in southern NJ. So you may have to look for one in your neighborhood.
