We used our yummy Shiro miso paste in these recipes - available now on the Dinner Twist Marketplace here!

Miso is a delicious protein-rich paste made from fermented soybeans. The length of fermentation time can affect the flavour; ranging from sweet and mild to salty and rich and is a fermented food which adds beneficial bacteria (known as probiotics) and enzymes to your intestinal flora. Miso helps maintain a healthy digestive and immune system.
