Light soy sauce is a thin, flavorful condiment originating from Chinese cuisine, widely used across Asia and beyond. It is made by fermenting soybeans, wheat, water, and salt, yielding a savory, umami-rich liquid with a lighter color compared to dark soy sauce. Light soy sauce is typically used for seasoning, marinades, and dipping, adding depth to dishes without altering their appearance significantly. While it provides a small amount of protein, its primary nutritional concern is its high sodium content, which can contribute to elevated blood pressure if consumed in excess. Some varieties offer reduced-sodium options to suit dietary needs. Light soy sauce contains minimal fat and calories, making it a versatile choice for enhancing flavor without significantly contributing to calorie intake. Despite its health considerations, when used in moderation, it remains a staple ingredient in many balanced and flavorful meals.
