Description

Ingredients: chickpeas, rice koji, sun-dried sea salt, mountain well water, koji spores. See nutrition facts below (disregard number of servings per container)

Origin: USA

Production: This short-term aged, soy-free miso uses garbanzo beans (chickpeas) instead of soybeans as its base. It has less salt and more rice koji (rice inoculated with Aspergillus spores) than traditional misos. Reducing the salt speeds up fermentation, while increasing the grain content makes more starch available to turn to sugar, producing a milder miso.

Qualities: This miso is soy-free so that the benefits of eating miso can be enjoyed by anyone, even those with soy allergies. Miso has been a staple ingredient in the Japanese diet for thousands of years and is a healthy, fermented food that provides a large set of available nutrients. Due to the fermentation, it is filled with beneficial, live probiotic cultures that support and balance gut bacteria.
Short-term aged misos also have their own distinctive health benefits. Perhaps because the aging time of chickpea miso is so short, typically 30-60 days, the abundant food supply of starches is not exhausted by the time the miso is packed and refrigerated.

Storage: This product is unpasteurized and should be refrigerated. Refrigerated shelf life is up to 18 months

All customers take full responsibility for unrefrigerated miso shipping during warm months.

Miso has a long shelf life, and we, therefore, encourage all of our customers to ‘stock up’ on miso during the winter months so that transport needs during warmer months is diminished.
