White or shiro miso made from soybeans and rice is fermented for a shorter amount of time (about 10 wks). It is lower in salt and has milder delicate flavors.
Miso has been used as a flavoring ingredient for over 2,000 years in Asia and is one of the world’s most important soy food. It is a highly versatile seasoning and is available in a variety of flavors and colors. Nama or unpasteurized miso means it has not undergone heat treatment during the manufacturing process. Since pasteurization is designed to kill microbes, nama/unpasteurized miso has the best probiotic activity.
