This powder is so good! Tried it for the first time at Thanksgiving, when my uncle and aunt brought some back from Taiwan. At first I thought it was cinnamon, but it's better!

i miss li hing powder. when we were in hawaii, we'd put it on everything - especially fresh pineapple. i also like the gummy bears and sour patch kids coated in it.

fuuchan: just to jump in... i find the sour plum powder salvages the blandness of the fruit when you get a not-too-sweet batch ;)

Argh, I really don't like that powder, hahah!
My mother loves it on guava and nectarines and tomatoes...
I rather like my fresh fruit unadulterated!

Kayenne:
Macopa? I know it as bell fruit or wax apples...the sour plum powder doesn't overwhelm the blandness of the fruit?

launate: i never realized it was called li hing powder or how popular it is in Hawaii.... now i'm totally borrowing the idea of rimming my frozen margarita glasses with it!

avocado + condensed milk + ice = one incredible shake... too bad the weather's so cold now!

you are right on the salt and fruit there... here in the philippines, salt is a common condiment for watermelons, pineapples, green mangoes, singkamas(jicama) the crunchy, bell-shaped macopa(wax jambu?)...etc.

and you're right, too, sour plum powder is simply wonderful on guavas. must be a chinese thing.

Purple or green Siniguelas(spanish plum) is also eaten with salt, especially when not fully ripe... i suspect it'll be great with sour plum powder... can't wait for summer!

We get this stuff on fruit from our local sushi joint, but they told us you can't get it here in the US!
I will definitely look for it next time i'm at the asian grocery store.

In Hawaii, we put li hing powder on our buttered popcorn.

I put soy sauce in my avocado.
