It's a dried plum covered in the lee hing powder which is, god what is it, sort of sour and bitter and salty all at once.

The kids won't appreciate them because they've developed American tastes, so the parents have been eating them non-stop and they're getting sick and tired of them. So now they're resorting to fobbing them off on others, who think they're going to be sweet -- i.e., cookies -- and are thus grossed out by them. <br><br>My kids hate umeboshi too, though.
