Re: [fast5] Re: Back and forth but back for good

The dry packaged stuff isn't "alive" either. Real miso is fermented.
It probably has sodium, though that varies according to the raw
ingredients ... I like rice miso. If it has glutamates, it is the kind
you find in most ferments, which don't seem to be as problematic for
some people.
