Asia Trans Li Hing Mui Crack Seed Plum Powder | Hawaiian Favorite | Sweet, Sour, & Salty Dried Asian Umeboshi Topping for Desserts and Snacks (2 Pack, 5 oz)

My first time trying Li Hing Mui Crack Seed Plum Powder. It's delicious!!!

I love this sprinkled on fruit. Apples are my go to right now Watermelon and pineapple in the summer

A bit fine,and powdery, uninformed flavor. used more than I expected, in order to get a close enough flavor I've been used too; growing up as a kid.

I purchased to make a plum drink. It will stay at the bottom of the cup. Has a strange after taste too.

Great Price, Great Taste. Tart which is more for my pallete. Thank you Asia Trans I believe for their amazing product.

You can't see all the ingredients and so I was not expecting aspartame as a sweetener. The flavor of the plum and licorice is great, but the aspartame makes it taste like chemical factory sweetener with a side of umebushi. They need to update their description as some people cannot tolerate or despise aspartame (phenylalanine).

First impression: it has a weird aftertaste. A chemical, unpleasant aftertaste. I ignored other reviewers who said that and bought it anyway. Mistake. If you eat too much of this, you will feel sick, not because of the powder itself, but because of whatever weird Chinese additive the company uses. Plus: the li hing mui powder is prune powder, so it will get rid of your constipation. But honestly, I'd rather eat prunes. I tried airing it out for a few weeks, to see if the horrible chemical smell goes away or dissipates at all - it doesn't, don't waste your time. It tasted good on haribo spaghetti sours (also sold on Amazon!! great buy!), meh on haribo gummy bears (also sold on Amazon!! great buy!!!!!), not good on apples or oranges. I don't know what people are bringing back from their Hawaiian vacations and raving about, but this simply cannot be it. One day I will go to Hawaii, visit the Dole Plantation, and eat the "authentic" li hing mui powder, and then I can have a basis for comparison too. God I hope it doesn't taste like this. Ugh. I'm also told Hawaiians put this on snow cones (they call them shave ice (not a typo, shave not shaved)).

I grew up in Hawaii and there were a lot of products with Li Hing flavoring. I mix a little in with nuts, chips, popcorn etc. It adds the genuine Li Hing flavor to anything.
