WHY IT’S HEALTHY

It’s not cheese! While so so yummy, blue cheese is loaded with saturated fat and salt. Apple Cider Vinegar has health-promoting probiotics and enzymes and helps to maintain normal blood sugar. The fermentation process to create miso also produces beneficial probiotics which help improve digestion. Despite its high-sodium content, miso does not appear to affect our cardiovascular system in the way that other high-sodium foods can. Like other soy-based foods, miso can provide us with a wide variety of phytonutrients. Tofu is a great source of protein, calcium, copper, manganese, selenium, and omega 3 fats. Many of these phytonutrients can function as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances. Dill is a good source of calcium and dietary fiber.

Note – Soybeans are one of the heaviest sprayed crops, so it is important to buy organic tofu and miso.
