Formal language is more common when we write; informal language is more common when we speak. However, there are times where writing can be very informal, for example, when writing postcards or letters to friends, emails or text messages. There are also examples where spoken English can be very formal, for example, in a speech or a lecture. Most uses of English are neutral; that is, they are neither formal nor informal. Formal language and informal language are associated with particular choices of grammar and vocabulary. Contractions, relative clauses without a relative pronoun and ellipsis are more common in informal language.
Umeboshi plums are hidden gems that come from Japanese cuisine. This plum is often pickled and tends to have a salty and sweet taste. Despite the intense taste, these plums can help with digestion, bloating, and can boost the immune system. These plums are often accompanied with rice or used as a paste. Although sea vegetables are on a different level from vegetables in terms of taste and texture, they still share some of the same health benefits.
Besides their dramatic flavor, Japanese pickled plums have remarkable medicinal qualities. Their powerful acidity has a paradoxical alkalinizing effect on the body, neutralizing fatigue, stimulating the digestion, and promoting the elimination of toxins.
