WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO
- Concentrated umami: a teaspoon goes a long way, keeping absolute carbs low
- Easy to dilute into broths/sauces for flavor with minimal quantity
- Pairs well with low-carb bases (cauliflower rice, shirataki noodles)
- Label-savvy choices (no added sugar) help minimize carb impact
- Works as a finishing ingredient—stir in off-heat to use less
- Naturally complements high-fat ingredients (butter, sesame oil) for better keto ratios
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
SMALL SOUPS
Whisk 1–2 tsp into hot Bone Broth or dashi; add tofu substitutes or low-carb veggies. Stir off-heat to preserve live cultures.

GLAZE & MARINADE
Blend 1 tsp miso with Sesame Oil, Low Sodium Soy Sauce or Tamari, ginger, and Apple Cider Vinegar; brush on Chicken Thighs or Salmon.
DRESSING
Shake miso with Olive Oil, Lemon, and a touch of Tahini for a creamy salad dressing.
STIR-FRY FINISH
