Who has heard of miso? Do you know what it is and how to use it? If so let us know your favourite way of using it in the comments. Miso is a nutrient rich, fermented condiment especially popular in parts of Asia. It is a thick paste made from soybeans that have been fermented with salt and a koji starter. This fermentation produces beneficial nutrients, potentially boosting digestion, aiding the immune system and helping fight disease. Miso paste can be used to make sauces, spreads and soup stock, or to pickle vegetables and meat and brings great umami flavour to a dish. Although miso is traditionally made from soybeans, other ingredients may also be used to make it, including rice, barley, rye, buckwheat and hemp seeds, all of which affect the colour and flavour of the final product. The darker colours are generally linked with a stronger, saltier taste and the lighter colours sweeter and milder. I like to mix sweet white miso with tahini a dash of tamari and water to make a quick easy dressing/sauce. There are a number of recipes on my new website that use miso including; * Creamy Miso Prawn & Butterbeans * Sundried Tomato & Miso Mushroom Quinoa Porridge * Citrus Miso Roasted Brussels & Beetroot Salad www.timetonourish.co.uk or follow the link in my bio. #miso #timetonourish #naturalchef #nutritionalnuggets #marlownaturalchef #vitamins #minerals #simplemealsforbetterhealth #jerfing #healthyeating #healthyeatingeducator #nourishingfoods #nutrientdensefood #glutenfree #refinedsugarfree #eatplants #eatvariety #cravings #marlow #bucks #highwycombe #wycombe

DID YOU KNOW ? 👇: Avocado is often called an "alligator pear" due to its pear-like shape and the rough, greenish skin that resembles an alligator's scales. The name "avocado" itself comes from the Nahuatl word "āhuacatl," which means "testicle," likely referring to the fruit's shape. Despite its unusual name origins, avocados are known for their creamy texture and rich, nutty flavor, and they are a versatile and nutritious fruit. • To Know More Follow US 👇: ...................... @ppsv.charities ...................... 👉🏻For more visit the website: www.ppsvcharities.org ................... • #AvocadoLove #HealthyEating #NutritionFacts #FoodieFriday #Guacamole #Superfood #AvocadoRecipes #EatGreen #NutrientRich #FoodPorn #FoodHacks #AvocadoToast #NutritionTips #FoodExploration #HealthyFats
