About Eden Ume Plum Balls, Ume Plum Concentrate And
Eden Plum Balls are a convenient way to enjoy one of the vegetable kingdom's most beneficial gifts, the Ume Plum without the high sodium content of pickled umeboshi plums. Ume Plum Concentrate is combined with Wild Japanese Mountain Yam (Jinenjo). The positive benefits of these foods have been enjoyed for thousands of years in Asia. Modern techniques and ancient wisdom combined make this exceptional food. Eden Plum Balls are a concentration of whole foods that have been crafted into a potent and convenient form, a 0.25 inch (6 millimeter) diameter ball that is swallowed with or without liquid. Mr. Shoichi Inagaki of the Umeken Company, late Master of Oriental Herbal Medicine, developed the technique of making food into this handy ball form in 1970. Mr. Inagaki helped us to introduce Eden Plum Balls to the West in 1983, crafting plum balls by hand before an enchanted crowd at a natural food industry trade show in Denver. Eden Ume Plum Balls are a mixture of EDEN Ume Plum Concentrate (a concentration of slowly reduced unripe Japanese Umeboshi Plums) and Jinenjo powder. The plum concentrate is made by reducing 1 kg. (2.2 lb.) of fresh green Umeboshi Plums down to 20 grams of dark, thick syrup until it is 50 times as strong as a fresh plum. The raw materials are weighed according to specific doses and placed in a mixer, then a kneader, then a specially designed ball making machine. The finished balls are placed in a drying room where hot convection currents dry the balls thoroughly and uniformly. The dried balls then pass through a selecting machine to rule out any rough surfaces or irregular shapes. They are inspected again with the naked eye and finally placed in bottles and sealed with a safety cap. This plant has adopted high quality pharmaceutical GMP (good manufacturing practices) with a rigid quality control program. Eden Plum Balls contain no chemicals, additives, flavoring agents or preservatives.
