About Dark soy sauce

Dark soy sauce is a rich, thicker, and slightly sweeter version of traditional soy sauce, commonly used in Chinese cuisine and other Asian dishes. Made from fermented soybeans, wheat, water, and salt, it undergoes a longer aging process, which deepens its flavor and gives it a bold, caramel-like taste. Its darker hue also makes it a popular choice for adding color to stir-fries, marinades, and braised dishes. While dark soy sauce is low in calories and contains small amounts of protein, it is high in sodium, meaning it should be consumed in moderation, particularly for individuals managing blood pressure or heart conditions. It is also unsuitable for those with gluten allergies due to its wheat content, though gluten-free versions are available. Despite its sodium content, dark soy sauce remains a flavorful way to enhance dishes without relying on added sugars or unhealthy fats.
