Dried Mume Apricot
Prunus mume
The mume apricot (Prunus mume) is a small tree of four or five metres, sometimes ten, with alternate oval leaves tapering to a point and finely toothed, and five-petalled flowers of white or pale pink. Its fruit is a downy, flattened drupe with a groove down one side and a single stone. It is grown in many parts of Vietnam, above all in Hà Tây, Nam Hà, Bắc Cạn, Tuyên Quang, Lạng Sơn and Cao Bằng. Fruit is picked in March and April once it has yellowed, wilted in the sun, then salted in earthenware jars and dried again to give bạch mai, white outside and red within.
