Description

Ingredients: Organic whole soybeans, organic rice koji (organic rice koji spores, sea salt, water). See nutrition facts below (disregard number of servings per container)

Origin: USA

Production: This miso is aged naturally without temperature control for 12 months in four-ton, hand-crafted Cypress, Redwood, or Fir barrels. The high soybean content in relation to the rice koji (grain inoculated with aspergillus spores) makes it necessary to age this variety through four full seasons because soybeans are more difficult to ferment, with their high protein and fat content, than the high-carbohydrate grains. This gives the aspergillus spores and lactobacillus bacteria sufficient time to completely break down the complex protein and fat molecules into their more digestible constituents.

Qualities: Miso has been a staple ingredient in the Japanese diet for thousands of years. Miso is a healthy, fermented source of soy 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.

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.
