Book Review of The Book of Miso: Food for Mankind

The Book of Miso: Food for Mankind
reviewed on


I always felt that I was pretty savvy about the content and benefit of a nutritious, low fat, high protein diet. Other than edamame as a standard sushi bar appetizer and tofu as an ingredient always included in my friends diet, I don't think I had ever taken other soy ingredients very seriously. Then, I found this book and started to learn about this most unique and useful food. Miso, meaning literally fermented soybean paste, is a savory high-protein seasoning made from soybeans, grain (either rice or barley), salt, water, Aspergillus oryzae culture. This little book contains all sorts of facts and useful information about Miso, where to buy it, how to store it properly, and howbuy it. take dsce food with al of these
