*MISO (Pronounced MEE-soh) is a highly nutritious fermented soybean paste

with a creamy consistency. It is used extensively in Japanese cuisine to

thicken and season dishes. The lighter miso is used in delicate soups,

sauces, and marinades, while the darker version is used in heartier dishes.

It is available in Asian markets as well as most natural foods stores.
