Miso paste is a traditional Japanese seasoning produced by fermenting soybeans with koji (a type of mold), salt, and sometimes rice, barley, or other ingredients. The fermentation process yields a thick paste with a complex flavor profile, ranging from sweet and savory to earthy and umami. Its color can vary from light yellow to dark reddish-brown, depending on the length of fermentation and the specific ingredients used. The texture is generally smooth, though some varieties may have a slightly chunky consistency. Discover the versatile umami flavor of miso paste for your next culinary adventure. It's a great way to add a layer of complexity to sauces, soups, marinades and more!

Miso paste is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, it can last for many months, even years. The color may darken over time, but this does not affect its quality or flavor. You can also store miso in the freezer to extend its shelf life indefinitely; it won't freeze solid due to its high salt content.
