Salted plums are a common Mexican snack. You can find bags of them right
along beside the toasted garbanzos (with chile or limon), peanuts, and fried
pork rinds.

Also, I recently ran into a product in San Antonio (quick stop type store)
that was in with the snack foods. A plastic envelope with about a dozen
plums. The label said SALTED PLUMS. I will try anything once, so I grabbed a
package and dispensed them to the family. They agreed with the label about
the salted part. My guess is these plums are packed in salt for about a year
prior to packaging. Our question is: How are these used and what
culture/cuisine would use them?
Looking forward to info for I am
