About Miso
Miso is a fermented soybean paste that has been central to Japanese cooking for centuries. The fermentation process develops deep umami, rounds out the saltiness, and produces beneficial microorganisms. Nutritionally it offers moderate protein and a meaningful carbohydrate fraction with some fiber, plus fat that is low but present. Sodium content is high, as the salt is integral to fermentation and preservation. A small spoonful dissolved into broth or used as a glaze delivers outsized flavor. Red miso is more intensely fermented; white miso is sweeter and milder.
