All traditionally fermented Japanese miso is prepared by cooking the finest organically grown ingredients (whole soya beans and cereal grains) and combining them with a koji culture (grains or soya beans inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae mould spores) sea salt and water. Then naturally aged in cedarwood kegs over many months at ambient temperature the enzymes from the koji, along with naturally occurring yeasts and bacteria, gradually break down the complex grains and beans into readily digestible amino acids, fatty acids and simple sugars. The resulting miso has rich and complex flavours and an abundance of umami, the fifth taste.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e_____________________________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenerally, the best way to store miso to maintain its freshness and quality is in a cool cupboard or refrigerator. However, it really depends on climatic conditions and personal preference. High temperatures will encourage further fermentation, which although not harmful, will darken the colour and alter the flavour of the miso as well as possibly leading to a build-up of pressure within the packaging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e_____________________________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole \u003cb\u003esoya beans\u003c\/b\u003e* (36%), \u003cb\u003ebarley\u003c\/b\u003e* (30%), sea salt, water.\u003cbr\u003e* organically grown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergy Advice:\u003c\/strong\u003e For allergens including cereals containing gluten, see ingredients in\u003cstrong\u003e bold\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ingredients\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlthough we make every effort to ensure this information is correct and accurate, we cannot be held liable in instances where it is incorrect.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ingredients\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlways read the label on the product when you receive it, and refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ingredients\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e____________________________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNutritional Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"nut_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTypical values\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eg per 100g\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label\"\u003eEnergy kJ:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 639\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label\"\u003eEnergy kCal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 153\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label\"\u003eFat:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 5.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label\"\u003eof which saturates:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label\"\u003eCarbohydrate:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label\"\u003eof which sugars:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 6.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label\"\u003eProtein:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label\"\u003eSalt:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e 12.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Clearspring","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40394445193313,"sku":"5021554989813","price":6.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0027\/6008\/1477\/products\/miso-organic-clearspring-barley-pk-new.jpg?v=1664365981","url":"https:\/\/checkout.wholefoodearth.com\/es\/products\/organic-japanese-barley-miso-paste-pasteurised-300g-clearspring","provider":"Whole Food Earth®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
