Tian Shan Black Plum

Tian Shan Black Plum

　　Tian Shan Black Plum, with its sweet and sour taste and unique flavor, also helps nourish and protect your hair. It is the dried nearly ripe fruit of the Prunus mume plant from the Rosaceae family, harvested when the fruit is nearly ripe in spring and summer. The flesh is soft, oval-shaped, and contains one pale yellow pit. High-quality Tian Shan Black Plum is prized for being large, heavy, thick-fleshed, and intact.

　　 Modern pharmacological research suggests that black plum is an alkaline food because it contains a high amount of organic acids, which are quickly converted into beneficial alkaline substances after being absorbed through the intestinal wall. According to the saying "those with alkaline blood live longer," when choosing anti-aging foods, black plum is truly deserving of its place. Among its organic acids is citric acid, which promotes gastric acid secretion, thereby eliminating feelings of indigestion and bloating, and relieving the subsequent symptoms of “discomfort.” In addition, the organic acids in black plum have strong antibacterial effects against pathogens such as mold that invade the gastrointestinal tract. When the stomach is weak, gastric acid decreases, naturally reducing its ability to disinfect and digest food, and may even lead to gastrointestinal disorders. In such cases, taking black plum can increase gastric acid levels and help regulate the digestive system.

　　 After exercise or physical labor: due to the accumulation of excessive acidic substances in the muscles, you may feel fatigued. Eating some black plum can effectively break down fatigue-inducing substances such as lactic acid and pyruvic acid found in the muscles, thereby quickly restoring your energy.

　　 It’s worth mentioning that as people reach middle age, they often experience shoulder stiffness or “frozen shoulder,” medically known as "fifty shoulder." As the name implies, “fifty shoulder” is a common issue among middle-aged and elderly individuals. Its primary cause is a lack of citric acid, leading to excessive lactic acid in the blood, which acidifies the blood and causes stiffness in the shoulders and neck. Supplementing citric acid by eating black plum can be effective.

　　 In addition, black plum also contains fruit acids and other fibrous substances, which aid in digestion and bowel movement. Experts also believe that black plum has appetite-stimulating, energizing, skin-enhancing, and anti-cancer properties. It meets the demand for fruits that are low in sugar and high in acidity, making it a rare and valuable fruit.
