Asia Trans Seeded White Li Hing Mui Crack Seed Plums | Hawaiian Favorite | Salty, Sour, & Bitter Dried Asian Plum Candy

These are awesomely wonderful. When I was a child in Panama, these were ten cents a box. Long time ago, yes, but I have never lost my taste for these. The yellow packaging label is the key. Purchase these for the tart/sweet. The gray label bag is sweet. They are both very tasty, but I prefer the yellow label. They are soft when you first open the package. Let them dry just a touch and you will enjoy them. I have been ordering for a while from this company.

Honestly these are an acquired taste. I've loved these since I was a kid, but you have to eat them slowly and in little bites, you can't just throw them in your mouth. I also have a bad habit of eating like ten of them in one sitting and burning all the skin off my tongue with them so that's neat.

The description and other reviews said this product is sweet and salty and that’s what I was excited about. When we opened the package and ate some, we all spat it out. It was EXTREMELY salty.

I like that its sweet but not to sweet you know. It came dry mot moist like how most some say but i guess thats the perks of buying it in winter season. Items as described. The size is good. The pricing is ok. So far after tasting, it reminds me of childhood.

I have been eating these for a few weeks now. They seem fresh, and once I’m sucking on the seed, the flavor is delicious! It just is too salty for me. I’m also not a baby when it comes to salt, but these are so salty that I have to eat them with water actively in my mouth or a sweet drink. I’ve grown up with these, I’m not sure what brand my grandma would get, but these are way saltier than those.

I’ve ordered this 11 times so far that should say enough about this lihing mui. I tried a bunch, looking for the one we used to buy at the crack seed shop out of the huge glass jars as a kid. Although this might not be salty enough for some, I love this one the most. It’s the perfect balance in my eyes—sweeter than salty and long lasting, suck on the seed after the meat is gone and it’s the best flavor. Plus it’s white and doesn’t leave your fingers stained red so Aunty can see you got into her red lihing mui the next day ;)

These are more sweet/less salty than I remembered them being in my youth and far more seed than meat, but they’re still delicious. Shipping took a while, but I’ll chalk that up to me ordering them just before the holidays. You get quite a lot for the price, but if you’re an addict like me, you’ll probably go through the whole bag in less than a week. Just be careful, as aspartame is an ingredient and consuming too much at once can lead to a laxative effect.

Perfect sweet and tart but only if you like it in the first place. Shared with my teen students while studying China but they didn’t like it. I spent a couple years in Taiwan (where these are from) when I was young and these were a real treat then and so they are now. If you’ve eaten these before, you’ll know with the good ones, you can suck on the pit for an hour and it still has the flavor.
