Miso & Prevention Protocol of swine flu-H1N1-Mrs Walkers's Chicken Soup

[Guest guest]

Yes! 

 

Z'ev, do you recommend different kinds of miso for the various seasons?  What

about different kinds of miso for wind cold, as opposed to wind heat?  Are any

more moistening or drying than others?  If anyone would know this, I would think

you would!

 

Thanks and blessings,

Andrea Beth

Andrea Beth,

I tend to use or recommend lighter misos in the summer, stronger in the

winter. The best brand I've found (generally mail order) is South River Miso (

http://southrivermiso.com ), in terms of quality and fermentation. I love their

dandelion leek miso, aged three years for its 'medicinal quality'. It is good

to warm the body and expel wind/cold. They also have azuki miso, chick pea miso

(for soy intolerant folks), brown rice miso, and chili/garlic miso.

 

In general, misos are moistening, but they do have varying salt content.

While the salt ratio is low in their products, the sweet, light misos such as

'white' miso with rice tends to have the least amount, although the chick pea

and azuki bean misos are low salt as well. Azuki bean miso may be more drying,

as azuki beans are used to disinhibit dampness in Chinese herbal medicine.

dandelion leek miso, aged three years for its 'medicinal quality'.  It is good

    In general, misos are moistening, but they do have varying salt content.

'white' miso with rice tends to have the least amount, although the chick pea

and azuki bean misos are low salt as well.  Azuki bean miso may be more drying,
