About Soja sauce
Soy sauce is a savory, liquid condiment with origins in East Asian cuisine, particularly China, dating back over 2,500 years. It is traditionally made through the fermentation of soybeans, wheat, salt, and water, though modern production may include hydrolyzed soy protein. Its rich umami flavor adds depth to dishes in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other global cuisines. Soy sauce is low in calories but contains significant sodium, making it best enjoyed in moderation, especially for those managing blood pressure. It offers trace amounts of protein and antioxidants from fermentation, but its nutritional value is limited overall. Gluten-free and reduced-sodium varieties are available for specific dietary needs. While soy sauce enhances taste, balanced use alongside fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients ensures a healthier approach to integrating it into meals.
