Seasons Greetings from South River Miso

In this time of short days and long, dark nights, we bring as much light into our lives as we can in festive gatherings with friends and family. It’s also important to give ourselves deep rest and soul-nourishing foods to stay healthy and balanced during the busy holiday season.

South River Miso is an ancient, time-tested savory seasoning that offers many health promoting benefits like high quality vegetable protein, natural probiotics and enzymes, all vegetarian ingredients, and it’s always organic and GMO free.

Make yourself a soothing bowl of miso soup to balance all of the tempting sweets and treats of the holidays. Or create a miso dressing to go over steamed leafy greens, or a tenderizing marinade for fish, chicken, tofu or tempeh. Get inspired by our many creative recipes.

Give yourself and your loved ones some of our 9 delectable varieties of miso for the holidays. We offer a gift pack of four selected varieties. All of our miso is currently available; including some specialty miso, such as Garlic Red Pepper and Dandelion Leek . We also offer USA made Tohum Sesame Tahini and Blue Heron Farm Maple Syrup, which is made locally in western Massachusetts.

May you have a healthy and enjoyable holiday time with friends and family and an inspired start to the New Year. We extend our deep gratitude to all of our wonderful customers from South River Miso.
