Is miso paste gluten-free?
Under normal circumstances, the answer might be a “yes”, but verify before use. Miso paste is typically made from fermented soybeans, salt, and koji (a type of mold). While these ingredients themselves are gluten-free, cross-contamination can occur during manufacturing. Therefore, it is essential to check product labels or purchase brands that clearly state ‘gluten-free’, particularly if you are gluten-sensitive or suffer from celiac disease.
