The Origin & History of Miso
Miso Suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians?
Miso has been a plant-based protein-source for hundreds of years for the Japanese. Naturally vegan and vegetarian, miso is suitable to people on most diets. When enjoying miso soup in a restaurant though, it is worth checking what stock (or ‘dashi‘) they are using, as traditionally miso soups and Japanese cuisine generally use a fish-based stock, so if you are vegan or vegetarian, do ask before ordering.

What are the different types of miso?
Those new to Miso are often surprised to learn that there are near- infinite types, just as there are countless varieties of wines or cheeses.
