This might be a silly question but are the umeboshi plums the pickled ones? I was able to find those at whole foods but I thought perhaps there would be fresh ones somewhere? Has anyone been able to find fresh ones in Chinatown or anything?

Hi! I'm in Vancouver, (visiting family in Ontario right now) and I'll be out on Vancouver Island for the summer (Port McNeill). I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to find anything up there!

Hello,I am from Port Moody. The only place I found the umeboshi plums was at T&T. In the refrigerator section next to the steam buns and miso's. The yave them in little plastic lift top containers. They have a few different types but look for the one with no additives. I think we should all plan a potluck vegan dinner :-D

Hello, I am also from Ontario, the Ottawa area, lovely to meet you!

I actually live abroad now, but if any of you are in Ottawa, go to the Green Door restaurant on Main Street. It has the most amazing food and desserts (nearly all vegan and macro) in a very unpretentious environment!Oh how I miss it! :)
