About Oyster sauc
Oyster sauce is a savory, thick condiment originating from Chinese cuisine, made primarily from oyster extracts, sugar, salt, and cornstarch, with some variations including soy sauce for added flavor. It is prized for its rich umami taste, making it a staple in stir-fries, marinades, and vegetable dishes. While offering minimal protein and traces of minerals like iron and zinc due to the oyster content, it is relatively low in calories, typically around 10-20 calories per tablespoon. However, oyster sauce is high in sodium, with some brands containing over 500 mg per serving, which may be a concern for those monitoring salt intake. It does not typically contain significant amounts of fat, fiber, or vitamins. For a healthier choice, opt for low-sodium or organic versions when available. Despite its nutritional limitations, its ability to elevate dishes with complex flavors makes it a beloved ingredient in Asian and fusion cuisines.
