Nutritional Overview
Miso is a nutrient-rich fermented soy product known for its high protein content, vitamin K, vitamin B12, and sodium levels. It is also a good source of probiotics, which promote gut health. However, it’s crucial to choose organic miso and prepare it correctly to retain its health benefits. Specifically, miso should not be brought to a boil, as this can destroy the beneficial probiotics, reducing it to a salty broth. Proper handling ensures that you reap the full nutritional and probiotic benefits of this superfood.
