6. Miso

The traditional Japanese seasoning is a thick paste with a very salty and tangy flavor. It’s typically produced by fermenting soybeans with salt and a fungus called kojikin. Look for miso in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. Add it to soups or stews, or try this easy miso soup recipe:
