Umeboshi, pickled ume fruit, serves multiple purposes in bento. It acts as a natural preservative due to its high acidity, helping to keep the bento contents fresh. Additionally, its salty and tangy flavor adds a burst of taste, enhancing the overall meal. Umeboshi is also believed to have health benefits, including aiding digestion and providing a source of antioxidants.
