Miso
Derived from fermented soybeans, miso is extremely
nutritious, offering protein, fiber, vitamins, enzymes
and anti-oxidants. Miso soup begins the day in Japan
and miso will appear throughout the day in soups,
sauces and marinades. One tablespoon in a cup of
hot water is an energizing afternoon beverage.
