About Douchi

Douchi, also known as fermented black beans, is a traditional ingredient in Chinese cuisine, prized for its bold umami flavor and distinctive aroma. Made from black soybeans that are salted and fermented, Douchi serves as a flavor enhancer in stir-fries, marinades, and sauces. Rich in protein and packed with probiotics, it offers digestive benefits commonly associated with fermented foods. Its robust taste comes with a high sodium content due to the salting process, so moderation is key for those monitoring their salt intake. This versatile seasoning adds depth and complexity to dishes, making it a staple in Asian cooking traditions while contributing a modest nutritional boost to savory recipes.
