Miso
Because its main ingredient is soybeans,
miso is full of high-grade protein. In addition,
soybean fat is believed to prevent the accumulation
of cholesterol on artery walls. There are
many types of miso, but they are generally
divided into two categories, "red"
and "white," based on color. Red
miso generally is dark brown with a distinct
aroma and flavor, whereas white miso tends
to be lighter and sweeter. Both are used
in soups and spread on grilled eggplant. |
