FAQ

What is it?

100% Organic Chickpea Miso gently dried at a low temperature in a small factory by our friends in Southern Oregon.

What is "Gently Dried"? Our Organic Chickpea Miso Powder is "Gently Dried™", a brand new, extremely efficient way of preserving food through very low temperature dehydration. This "low and slow" process removes 99% of the moisture content from the miso while preserving its flavor and creating a shelf-stable powder that's ready to rehydrate.

What is Brown Rice Koji?

Koji is rice inoculated with the beneficial fungus Aspergillus oryzae. In a perfectly balanced harmony of temperature and humidity, koji spreads through beds of steamed brown rice and spins them into an enzymatic-rich foundation for traditional miso fermentation by converting natural, complex starches into available sugars. Imagine a bed of brown rice woven together by koji mycelium with the resulting uniquely sweet smell of properly made koji... roasted, nutty chestnuts... mmmmmm! When blended with organic chickpeas and mineral-dense sea salt, it's left to naturally ferment in wooden barrels and produces an incredibly umami-rich, amino acid paste: MISO!
