The next thing we do is to discard the use of Monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is normally added to bland food to make it taste better. Excessive consumption of food prepared with MSG may lead to headaches, dizziness, muscle tightening, nausea and depression.
The benefits of miso
Fermented from soya bean, barley, wheat and brown rice
Rich in protein
Rich in Vitamin B12
Rich in enzymes
Enzymes assist in eliminating radioactive compounds in human body
When preparing vegetables and soup, we replace MSG with miso. Miso is a life food made from brown rice, soya bean and barley. It has enzymes and hence cannot be used in cooking. Normally, we mix miso with warm water and add it to the cooked food. What is so special about miso? It is rich in vitamin B12, an important source of B12 for vegetarians. The beneficial bacteria in our body need vitamin B12 to function effectively. After about three years of fermentation and without pasteurization, the miso is a health food ingredient.
Where can you buy Miso? Organic shops and hyper markets run by Japanese.
