Ume plums contain more citric acid than lemons and other food products. This allows the ume to powerfully activate metabolism and to lift fatigue and lactic acid from the body. The citric acid also helps with the fixing and absorption of calcium, which is often difficult for the body to absorb. The reason pregnant women often crave something sour early in pregnancy is because of an instinctive need for citric acid, which heightens the calcium fixing rate for forming the skeletal structure of an embryo. Citric acid also controls the secretion of gastric juice; it helps prevent stomach ulcers and helps stimulate the appetite of weak or elderly persons.
