April 2025
Spring is such a joyful time for us in the Northeast after the cold snowy winter. It’s a delight to watch the brown grass turning green and the robins searching eagerly for worms.
It’s time to throw off the winter heaviness and add lighter, fresher foods to our diet. South River Miso is wonderful in dips, spreads, and in salad dressings for those fresh new lettuces and red radishes.
This ancient food is a healthy organic source of vegetable protein, enzymes and natural probiotics which may aid in digestion and boost our immune systems. It adds a special salty and sweet flavor to every recipe.
