Snack Hawaii Li Hing Mui Seeded Red Plums - 2.5 oz Chewy Dried Asian Plum Candy, Sweet-Sour-Salty

Asia Trans Seeded Red Li Hing Mui Crack Seed Plums are chewy, seeded dried plums dusted in tangy-salty li hing powder for a distinctive sweet-sour-salty Hawaiian snack. These 2.5-ounce bags from Snack Hawaii bring a classic Hawaiian and pan-Asian favorite to your pantry: seeded red plums preserved, dried, and finished with li hing mui seasoning. The result is an intense balance of sweet fruitiness, bright sour notes, and an umami-like salty finish that makes these plums a versatile treat. Packaged in Kona, Hawaii, the plums are prepared to retain texture and flavor, making them great for snacking, garnishing fruit, or jazzing up beverages and desserts.

What makes li hing mui plums different from regular dried fruit?

Li hing mui plums are coated in a unique seasoning blend called li hing powder, which combines salty, sour, and sweet elements to create an immediately recognizable flavor profile. Unlike plain dried fruit that emphasizes the fruit’s natural sugars, these plums spotlight contrast: tang, salt, and chew. They still keep the plum’s soft, slightly leathery texture and, in this seeded version, the satisfying structure the pit provides.

• Seeded plums preserve a firmer chew and traditional mouthfeel
• Li hing powder adds salty-sour complexity to each bite
• Contrast-focused flavor works as snack or condiment

How can I enjoy these plums beyond eating them straight from the bag?

These plums are versatile: eat them alone, pair with fresh fruit, or use as a finishing touch on desserts and drinks. Their salty-sour-sweet concentration complements tropical fruits, cocktails, shaved ice, and creamy desserts. Small amounts go a long way when used as a garnish or mix-in.

• Toss diced plums over pineapple or mango for bright contrast
• Use powdered bits as a rimmer for cocktails or mocktails
• Chop and sprinkle on shaved ice, yogurt, or ice cream

Are these plums suitable for sharing, travel, or gifting?

The compact 2.5-ounce package is ideal for single servings, on-the-go snacking, and including in gift boxes of Hawaiian treats. The sealed bag helps maintain freshness and flavor for several weeks after opening if stored in a cool, dry place. Because of their bold taste, a little goes far—making them a thoughtful small-sample item for newcomers to li hing flavors.

• 2.5 oz size fits snack packs, lunchboxes, and travel bags
• Resealable packaging preserves texture and seasoning
