I've never seen miso with fat. My Westbrae Mellow Red Miso contains, per
tablespoon, zero grams of fat and 2grams of protein. My Westbrae Mellow
White Miso contains the same. My favorite miso, Miso Master Organic
Traditional Country Barley Miso (superb for miso soup), does not have a fat
content listed. However, it contains, in order: organic soybeans, organic
pearled barley, sun dried sea salt and well water. There may be a bit of
naturally occurring fat in the soybeans, but I'm not worrying about it. Nor
am I worried about missing out on 2 grams of fat with my red and white miso,
as it's quite clear from the literature that protein consumption is among
the least of our worries as vegans or vegetarians.
