Autumn Greetings from South River Miso
As the changing season brings cooler days to much of the country, our appetites wake up and we are inspired to cook heartier dishes. Miso is the perfect ingredient in fall soups, stews and sauces. The savory, comforting taste brings out the flavors of plump squash, roots, grains and greens of the harvest time. Miso is filled with naturally occurring enzymes and probiotics that can aid digestion and help maintain strong immunity.
We currently have all ten of our delectable miso varieties available online at southrivermiso.com. Please browse through our informative web site and view our lively videos.
