In case the print is too small in the picture, left to right is Dandelion Leek, Chickpea, Sweet White, and Three Year Barley misos, and a small jug of their own miso tamari -- the richest "soy sauce" I've ever tasted. There are other flavors of miso available. Any of the flavors make a delicious hot "tea" -- a spoonful of miso in a cup of "hot" (≈140 degrees or so; not boiling!) water, and add valuable flora to the digestive track. An order from South River is accompanied by a recipe/information book about miso and its uses (recipes, etc.).

Yum. I'd like to try some of that--maybe this weekend. I've actually never tried miso soup! I've put it in other soups with pasta and beans but never had it alone. love, jen
ReplyDelete....you eat sushi?
ReplyDeleteis the miso tamari a suitable alternative to
the soy sauce? SS has way too much sodium--
I think.
Is a vegan 100% no meats? which would mean
no fish?
Thanks and enjoy reading your posts.
Thanks for stopping by, surfsalterpath.
ReplyDeleteYes, vegan means no meat of any kind (including fish) -- a plant-based diet -- so no, I don't eat sushi. There are some "sushi" vegetable rolls that vegans eat, but they contain no fish -- only rice and seaweed wraps, etc.
Yes, miso tamari can be used in place of soy sauce. I don't know how much sodium is in the South River Tamari. Like you, I try to eat very little sodium, so don't use the tamari very often -- only for slight flavoring occasionally.
Hope that helps!
