Lapis Lazuli Light: Miso – natural seasoning rich in vitamin B12 味噌

There are many varieties of miso, made of soybeans, barley, buckwheat or rice. It is rich in vitamin B12, one of the best sources for vegetarians. Miso also contains as enzyme that can help the body eliminate radioactive compounds.
During the Second World War, when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the people at the Macrobiotic hospital survived. The director told everyone to take miso straight, immediately after the bombing. The Catholic hospital next door had many casualties.
In order to utilize the enzyme, add miso just before serving. It can replace salt or soy sauce for seasoning.

味噌(豆瓣酱)- 天然调味,含有丰富的B12
味噌的种类很多,可用大豆,大麦,荞麦,米等发酵制成,含有丰富的维他命B12,是素食者摄取B12的重要来源。味噌中含有一种特别的酵素,能将身体内的放射性物质排出体外。
在第二次世界大战末,当原子弹丢到广岛后,一些住在市内食疗医院的人都保住了性命,就是因为院长叫大家立刻直接吃味噌;而隔壁的天主教医院则死伤累累。
为了不破坏味噌的酵素,最好菜即将上桌时才加入,可代替酱油和盐。
