naturally fermented, unfiltered, raw, gluten-free, vegan, handmade in Berlin Our organic Turuncu Shio Koji is a wonderfully fresh chili sauce with intense floral notes and a measured level of spiciness. The bright color comes from the orange Turuncu spiral chili, an originally Turkish chili variety that Demeter has grown especially for us in Schwerin. In addition to the chilis, Turuncu Shio Koji also contains koji rice, salt and water and, like Shio Koji, is only fermented for a short time. This means that the chilis and the ferment itself retain their original, lively flavor. How to useTuruncu Shio Koji is particularly suitable for seasoning a wide variety of dishes such as salads, pastes, pizzas, soups, sauces or side dishes. You can also use Turuncu Shio Koji to marinate vegetables and meat. As the name suggests, the sauce is based on a Shio Koji paste and therefore also contains Koji rice and numerous enzymes. This paste not only makes the meat more tender and juicy, but also gives it a pleasant spiciness. You can also use the paste like Shio Koji to pickle and ferment vegetables such as cucumbers, carrots and radishes. Feel free to also try our Yuzu Chili Koji or Shio Koji . BackgroundShio Koji is rice inoculated with Koji (also known as Aspergillus oryzae) and fermented with water and salt. Koji, a noble mold, plays a crucial role in the production of many foods in Japan and is just as suitable for consumption as other mold cultures used to ripen salami or cheese. Koji is traditionally cultivated on steamed rice, grains or pulses and has been a tradition in China and Japan for thousands of years. Koji has the remarkable ability to transform organic substances and produce metabolites useful to humans. This is achieved through the activity of the enzymes present in koji. These enzymes enable the breakdown of starch, proteins and fats, which contributes significantly to the development of the taste and aroma of the fermented materials, especially the emergence of umami and sweetness. The metabolites are also easier for humans to digest and are much more digestible. Therefore, koji ferments are not only tasty, but also extremely healthy. Ingredients
