About Black bean sauce
Black bean sauce is a savory and flavorful condiment originating from Chinese cuisine, particularly Cantonese cooking. It's made by fermenting black soybeans (douchi) with salt, often blended with garlic, ginger, sugar, and a touch of oil for added depth. The fermentation process gives the sauce its distinctive umami-rich, slightly tangy taste, making it a popular addition to stir-fried dishes, steamed vegetables, or marinades. Nutritionally, black bean sauce is low in calories but high in sodium due to the fermentation and preservation process, so it should be consumed in moderation if you're watching your salt intake. The fermented black beans offer probiotics that may promote gut health, along with small amounts of protein and fiber. Its bold flavor makes it a great way to elevate the taste of dishes without needing to add excessive fats or calories.
