SALT IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF MISO - USE AS A CONCENTRATED SEASONING - Salt plays an integral part in fermented foods and acts as a check to the fermentation process. Miso is a concentrated seasoning with considerable flavouring ability - use approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of miso as a substitute for ¼ teaspoon of salt.
