You’re probably familiar with miso from the side soups you’ve been served at Japanese and other asian restaurants, but there’s a whole lot more to this magical fermented superfood than meets the eye! Available in various different types and crammed full of nutrients, miso is a versatile superfood which is equally as tasty in sweet dishes as it is in savoury.

We see miso as an ancient superfood. It has been enjoyed throughout Asia for centuries as a delicious soup and as an ingredient in cooking with great health credentials. Miso is highly nutritious, packed full of vitamins, antioxidants, protein and minerals that help to strengthen your immune system, keeping you healthy and well.

This Japanese condiment benefits also our brain health. Probiotic-rich foods such as miso may benefit brain health by helping improve memory and reducing symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Miso benefits also our heart health. Miso soup may reduce the risk of death from heart disease. If you’re planning to give miso a try, just keep in mind that its flavor can be strong and quite salty. A small amount can go a long way.
