Brown Rice Miso, Organic
Brown rice miso paste (Genmai miso) is a traditional type of miso paste made from soybeans and brown rice koji. The difference between Brown Rice Miso and other miso paste varieties is the use of brown rice instead of white rice. Brown rice miso is considered a long-term miso because it is aged longer (6 months to 1 year) to develop a sweet, earthy flavor and dark red color.
Miso Master Organic Brown Rice Miso Qualtities:
- Fermented Naturally: Our Brown Rice Miso is naturally aged in wooden barrels for one year * without the use of high-heat (destroys beneficial bacteria), accelerants (artificially speeds up fermentation), or yeast (alters flavor).
- Unpasteurized: Miso Master Brown Rice Miso is traditionally fermented inside wooden barrels in accordance with traditional practices
- Color & Flavor: Brown Rice Miso paste is dark reddish-brown in color with a nutty, slightly sweet, earthy, savory flavor.
Brown Rice Miso Uses:
- Brown Rice Miso is a perfect miso for miso soup. Brown Rice Miso is dark reddish-brown in color and strong in deep, savory flavor. Brown Rice Miso or any other long-term miso (Barley or Red Miso) pairs very well with hearty dishes including miso soup, stew, or chili to add deep, luxurious, umami flavor.
- Brown Rice Miso is easily used as a seasoning in your favorite dishes. Adding miso to sauces, stir-fry, glazes, salad dressings, smoothies and marinades is a quick and easy way to use miso in place of table salt.
- Miso makes a great substitute for salt - add it to any dish!
- Brown Rice Miso is incredibly versatile and can be added to baked goods and desserts to enliven all the flavors and bring out the sweet with a salty contrast. Darker miso pastes (brown rice miso, red miso, barley miso) all work very well with chocolate as they are both rich with umami flavor.
