Miso
Diet Nutrition
Miso is made from fermented soybeans.There
are several types of miso. The most common is mugi miso, a combination
of soy and barley with a warm, mellow flavour. Hatcho miso is made from
soybeans alone and is denser and more strongly flavoured. Genmai miso
which is made from rice is lighter and sweeter.
Miso is a living food in the same way that
yogurt is and contains bacteria and enzymes which are destroyed by boiling.
Miso is best added as a flavouring at the end of cooking.
Miso is a bit like peanut butter in texture
and has a high salt content. The lighter coloured the miso the less salt.
