MARUKOME: Miso and Easy Original Broth, 15.1 oz
Miso is one of the most well-known Japanese condiments in the world today that's recognized for its tremendous health benefits.
At its basic, Miso is a paste derived by fermenting soybeans. These soybeans are mixed with salt and a type of mold called koji (used to make sake).
Depending on the blend, they can be mixed with other grains like barley, rice, or rye. The mixture is then left to ferment in crocks for a few weeks to a year. The result is a delicious, appetizing paste that can infuse serious flavors in your tofu, ramen, soups, and even burgers, marinades, fish, and stir-fry. But it's really the most widely used for the famous miso soup.
