Soy sauce is a liquid seasoning made from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and water, originating from ancient China and widely used in East Asian cuisine. Its rich, umami flavor enhances dishes ranging from stir-fries to sushi. There are several varieties, such as light, dark, and low-sodium soy sauce. Nutritionally, it is low in calories and contains small amounts of protein, iron, and potassium. However, it is very high in sodium, which can contribute to high blood pressure if consumed excessively. Traditional brewing methods may provide antioxidants, but some commercial versions include additives, such as caramel coloring or preservatives. While soy sauce adds depth and balance to meals, moderation is key for maintaining healthy sodium levels. Opt for naturally brewed or reduced-sodium options to lessen health concerns while enjoying its savory taste.
