About Dark miso

Dark miso, also known as red or aka miso, is a fermented soybean paste deeply rooted in Japanese cuisine. It is crafted from soybeans, salt, and a grain such as barley or rice, fermented for a longer period than lighter misos, giving it a bold, savory umami flavor with a slightly tangy edge. Nutritionally, dark miso is rich in protein, probiotics, and essential minerals like zinc and manganese. It supports gut health, digestion, and provides plant-based nutrition, making it a valuable ingredient in soups, marinades, and sauces. However, it is high in sodium, so consumption should be moderated for those watching salt intake. With its robust taste and nutritional benefits, dark miso is a versatile condiment for enhancing flavor while delivering potential health perks.
