These savory misos are higher in protein, lower in carbohydrates, and higher in sodium content.
The many varieties are classified by colour--the darker miso, which has been aged longer, has a stronger, saltier flavour, whilst the lighter white and yellow misos tend to be less salty, even adding subtle sweet notes in certain circumstances.
Generally, these misos have a higher percentage of rice or other grains and are considered sweet because of their mild flavor.
