What is hatcho miso? And what relationship does it have with a macrobiotic diet?
Macrobiotic nutrition has its origins in Zen Buddhism and traditional Chinese medicine and is based on the principle of balance between Yin and Yang.
This balance is achieved through good physical condition, spiritual serenity and by eating those foods or condiments that act as medicine.
For all these benefits and its alkalizing power, hatcho miso is an essential macrobiotic food.
It is usually eaten in soup and you can add Wakame seaweed, which provides yang energy, numerous minerals and helps us purify the body.
You can also add tofu and vegetables such as chives.
Hatcho miso has a powerful flavor and is very concentrated in salt, so a teaspoon of miso in a bowl of hot water is enough for us. We should never boil hatcho miso because it would lose much of its properties.
