Organic Plum Concentrate from Juelin Farm: A Gift from Nature with a Heart of Compassion

At Juelin Farm, owner Chen Shutsung runs the farm with a "Buddha's heart," treating the land with kindness and following every production process with patience and care. Each bottle of plum concentrate embodies a dedication to compassion, crafted with deep attention to detail to capture the essence of the plum's rich nutrients and organic acids, which help stimulate saliva production, aid digestion, and support regularity.

A Thoughtful Gift with Growing Popularity Through Word of Mouth

The name "Juelin" holds a hint of Buddhist inspiration, a reflection of Chen Shutsung's years of study in Buddhist philosophy. Since 1995, when he first encountered organic farming, he and his family converted their ancestral plum orchard in Xinyi Township, Nantou, to an organic approach that cherishes the land.

To manage the large plum harvest each season, Chen and his wife initially began making plum vinegar by washing and drying the plums, then fermenting them with sugar and vinegar for several months. Another traditional method they used was creating plum concentrate. Initially, they shared these products only with friends and family, who found them beneficial and spread the word.

The Benefits of Organic Plum Concentrate

After the organic store Leezen heard about the Chen family's plum concentrate, they encouraged them to purchase certified organic green plums and produce it on a larger scale. This would support organic farming and allow more people to enjoy the product's benefits. Plum concentrate is alkaline, with the plum's full spectrum of nutrients and organic acids to aid digestion, stimulate saliva, and promote regularity. Only 1 kilogram of organic plum extract can be extracted from 40 kilograms of organic green plums, representing the essence of the fruit. It is slowly cooked without any artificial additives or sweeteners to preserve its pure taste.

The Labor-Intensive Process of Organic Plum Concentrate

The production of plum concentrate is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Only green plums that are 50-60% ripe are selected, washed, crushed, and juiced. Then, they are simmered for 30 to 48 hours. For the first 10 hours, high heat is used, followed by low heat with constant stirring. The plum concentrate must be carefully monitored, and it is only ready once the concentrate can be pulled into continuous threads. The result is a pure organic plum concentrate made with dedication and compassion.
