What are the health benefits of miso?
Bursting with beneficial bacteria, miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning made by fermenting beans with koji, a fungal culture (Aspergillus oryzae). Rich in minerals such as iron, calcium and phosphorus, as well as stress-busting B vitamins, miso adds a delicious umami flavour to a dish. We have used the sweeter, milder white miso to complement the salmon in our recipe. Try more recipes for a healthy gut.
