Our simple yet delicious carrot salad is rich in the phytonutrient beta-carotene from the carrots, important for skin, eye and immune health. Miso is not only packed with zinc and manganese, but also phytonutrients known as phenolic acids from the fermentation process. This acts as a potent antioxidant in the body.
