Miso is the taste of the summer: from flavoured pesto to salad dressings, here are eight of the best umami products to shop now.


From kefir to kimchi and sauerkraut to kombucha, our obsession with fermented food is showing no sign of slowing down. After all, it is the best way to improve your gut health and immunity (even better than fibre) and its distinctly delicious flavouring makes even the dullest midweek dishes feel somewhat elevated.

Currently, miso is wearing the crown for flavour of the moment. The traditional Japanese seasoning – made with fermenting soybeans – has long been a staple in Asian cuisine, but it’s making its way into salty pestos and tangy salad dressings.

Looking to support your gut microbiome and want something delicious for dinner? Look no further than these eight delicious umami products that make a great addition to any kitchen cupboard.
