Organic Red Barley Miso Koji

How to make miso? Koji is the first ingredient you will need. Koji is steamed polished rice or barley inoculated with the Aspergillus oryzae culture. It is responsible for the fermentation process of miso. Its function is to convert starch, protein, and fats to their simpler easier to digest compounds (sugars, amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol), transforming the original food into a new food and releasing beneficial nutrients in the process. Nature at work! We include a flyer that tells you how to make mellow barley miso.
