About Soyasauce

Soy sauce is a savory, liquid condiment made from fermented soybeans, wheat, water, and salt. Originating in China over 2,000 years ago, it is now a staple in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, adding umami flavor to dishes ranging from stir-fries and marinades to sushi and soups. The fermentation process develops its rich taste and dark color, while varying types, such as light and dark soy sauce, offer different flavor intensities for diverse culinary uses. Nutritionally, soy sauce contains minimal calories and provides small amounts of protein, but it is high in sodium, with one tablespoon often exceeding 40% of the recommended daily intake. While some varieties, like low-sodium options, cater to health-conscious consumers, excessive consumption may contribute to high blood pressure or other sodium-related health concerns. As with any condiment, moderation is key for enjoying its bold flavor without compromising overall health.
