The Grocery Ninja (who leaves no aisle unexplored, no jar unopened, no produce untasted) gets a care package of sour plums - plums dried with salt and sugar. She says that pregnant women nearly live on these, eating the dozens of different varieties, some sweeter and some saltier. They can also be cooked in duck and plum sauce, steeped in hot water for plum tea, and used as a digestive.

those were a popular snack when I was growing up in hawaii. We called them crack seed or li hing mui. the form that I really love to this day is when it's ground into a powder (li hing powder) and sprinkled on things like gummy bears/worms/etc, or fruit like apple slices or pineapple chunks. mmmmm.
