This recipe contains barley and oat grain flours and blueberries that are a good source of soluble fiber, almond milk that is lactose free and miso which is a fermented food, all of which help promote a healthy gut. Blueberry-Umami Topping is a mildly sweet, salty and tart sauce with a hint of earthy-deliciousness which makes this sauce a versatile addition to both savory and dessert dishes.
