After decades of meat eating, vegetarianism is taking off in the
Western world and more people are seeking a substitute for dairy
products, which often result in allergic reactions, especially in
children. Are alternative vegetarian foods healthier? You can be the
judge. Miso
is a complex fermented rice food. Fermented foods are healthy
digestive aids and help keep friendly bacteria awake in the
intestinal tract.
Traditionalists say fermentation should take up to two years and
include wild organisms to add character and deep rich taste. The
best miso is made with large, low fat soy beans and brown rice koji
- a natural enzymatic starter usually inoculated with aspergillus
mould.

VITAMIN C never
ceases to amaze in the healthful benefits it
delivers. Most animals make up to 20 g of vitamin
C per day from glucose in their bodies. We used to
make it too, but scientists say we lost that
ability by the end of the Ice Age.
