Japanese Original Miso Rice is of high quality and rich in vegetable protein, making it ideal for preparing traditional soups or vegetable broths. To preserve flavor and properties, this fermented product is not pasteurized. Produced by the historic Japanese company Mitoko, they are packaged in handy open trays and openings. To avoid any possible swelling of the capsule characteristic of a live and in vivo product a valve is applied allowing the escape of gases produced by natural fermentation. To avoid degradation of natural enzymes, it is undesirable to cook them. Glutenfree barley and white rice are also available
