Miso is an essential condiment in Japanese cooking. Basically it is soybeans fermented with Koji – just in case you have never heard of it.

Instant Miso soup for fasting

Here are my two favourites: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yutaka-Instant-Miso-Soup-Vegetarian/dp/B00F9WNFBU/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=instant+miso&qid=1592936869&sr=8-8 https://www.amazon.co.uk/itsu-Chilli-Miso-Noodle-Pack/dp/B078HRXTXM/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=instant+miso&qid=1592936902&sr=8-11 Miso consumption is generally safe for most people. However, it does contain a large amount of salt and also kelp so if you have a seawater allergy it may trigger it. Thus, it may not be a good choice for individuals who need to limit their salt intake due to a medical condition. In addition, miso is relatively high in vitamin K1, which can act as a blood thinner.
