Soy sauce is a liquid condiment with origins in ancient Chinese cuisine, now widely used across East and Southeast Asian cooking. Made from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and water, its production involves a complex fermentation process that creates its signature salty, umami flavor. Soy sauce is low in calories and contains small amounts of protein and antioxidants. However, it’s high in sodium, which may be a concern for individuals managing blood pressure or heart health. Traditional soy sauce can vary in taste and thickness depending on the region, with Japanese variants being lighter and sweeter compared to darker Chinese versions. When consumed in moderation, soy sauce can enhance the flavor of dishes without the need for additional oils or fats, but it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, with attention to salt intake.
