Eden Organic Mugi Miso: A Living Treasure

Organic EDEN Mugi Miso is an impressively umami-delicious live culture, unpasteurized miso made from non-GMO, organic whole soybeans and organic barley. This miso is koji-fermented in the traditional manner by a 170-year-old (since 1854) Japanese miso maker. Mugi miso, the most popular type, is ideal for everyday use in any season.

This unpasteurized miso is a living food, rich in a culture of beneficial microorganisms, digestive enzymes, and protective isoflavones. It provides high-protein nourishment and is rapidly gaining recognition in the West as a protective, delicious superfood.

Miso's Digestive and Protective Powers

Miso contains a wealth of enzymes and microorganisms that aid digestion and help to build healthy intestinal flora while keeping undesirable flora in check. It is excellent for miso soup, bean, vegetable and noodle soups, as a seasoning in cooking, as a dip for vegetables (diluted to taste), in creamy salad dressings, or as a marinade.

Traditional Japanese Production and Quality

The production of Eden Organic Mugi Miso follows a meticulous traditional process. First, barley is steamed and sprinkled with koji Aspergillus oryza seed to be incubated for two days. The koji barley is then mixed with koji-seeded cooked whole soybeans, sea salt, and water, and fermented in vats under pressure for six months.

When ready, the miso is filled into a one-way vented tub package that allows ferment gas to escape, but no air to enter. No chemicals or untoward additives are used - only the organic ingredients.

The traditional koji and microorganism culture fermentation breaks down proteins into amino acids and carbohydrates into sugars, providing 5 times the protective isoflavones compared to non-fermented soy foods.

Versatile and Nutritious

Eden Organic Mugi Miso is a perfect addition to miso soup, dressings, sauces, and marinades. Its live culture, unpasteurized nature, and traditional Japanese production make it a true living treasure in the world of natural, nourishing foods.
