Miso: Japanese “Fermented Beans”
…more specifically Soybean Paste.
This fermented food is a source of probiotics…Not on the Probiotic Bandwagon yet? Well let me sway you: Probiotics are essentially a type of living microorganism that feed the bacteria in your gut.
Gut health affects your entire body from immune system, brain function, mood, weight management and digestion. Foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, and kombucha drinks are all sources of probiotics.
Aside from being probiotic, Miso anti-inflammatory, rich in antioxidants, and can even reduce your risk of certain cancers.
Are you yet, convinced that Miso should be regular go-to in your fridge?
