Product description

Since 1978 Convenience Without Compromise®65% Less Sodium**Soup In Seconds™Made With Organic MisoAdd Your Own Fresh TofuGluten FreeVeganCertified Organic by QAIThe Story of Miso-Cup®Miso (pronounced meè-so), one of Asia's most important foods, was created by the ancient Chinese more than two thousand years ago. Buddhist monks later brought this versatile soyfood to Japan, where in evolved into the delicious miso soup we enjoy today. Miso was originally reserved exclusively for nobility, but it was eventually shared more widely, and has now become a treasured staple in kitchens throughout Asia*. The popularity of Japanese cuisine has made miso soup a worldwide favorite, thanks to its wonderful flavor and unique nutritional profile.To make Miso-Cup® Reduced Sodium Soup, food artisans age organic soybeans and organic rice with a traditional starter culture called "koji". They employ salt, time and pressure to regulate this aging process and create the culinary treasure known as miso. We freeze-dry lower sodium varieties of their fresh, unpasteurized miso, adding select ingredients, such as organic onion and organic parsley, to make Miso-Cup complete. Like yogurt, miso is considered to be a living food. That is why Edward & Sons takes extra care to use costly freeze-drying methods that retain many of the living cultures for which fresh miso is prized. Miso-Cup boasts rich, satisfying flavor without any cholesterol or trans fats. Enjoy convenient Instant Soup In Seconds™ or experiment with Miso-Cup as an all-purpose seasoning to enhance sandwiches, flavor dips, season gravy and more. Miso-Cup - delivering Convenience Without Compromise® to discerning customers with busy lifestyles since 1978.*Source: The Book of Miso, by W. Shurtleff & A.
