Shiro miso paste is a fermented soybean paste used to make soups, sauces and condiments. The taste of the paste is mild and slightly sweet.
Fermented longer than light miso, it has a richer flavour and is more warming to the body, making it more suitable for colder seasons and climates.
In Japan, miso is used daily, mainly in miso soup, but also in sauces, marinades and broths.
Miso is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and enzymes. It is also very low in calories and fat. For a long time, in many temples, the meal consisted of a bowl of rice with vegetables and condiments and miso soup.
To use: dissolve the miso in a little water (about 1 tsp miso to 1 cup of liquid) and add to the dish just before it is finished cooking, to prevent the valuable nutrients from being lost during cooking.
Pasteurised.
