MISO is made from fermented soy and is a living food that helps replenishhealthy intestinal flora. It’s important not to allowmiso to boil, as its healthbenefits are destroyed by high temperatures.When preparing leftovers, reheatsoup separately, remove from heat, dissolvemiso inwarmwater and stir intoindividual servings. Mellow white varieties of miso (such as brown rice andchickpea) have been fermented for one year and are milder than three-yearfermentedvarieties.

BASICLEGUMES
Legumes are a great source of protein that are low in fat, high insoluble fiberand iron,andboast significanthealthbenefits. I like tomake my legumes in large quantities so that I always have somepreparedinmyfreezer.WhenIdefrostthem,Icookthemminimallyso that theydon’t split.
