A tablespoon of soy sauce is a rich, dark liquid condiment originating from East Asian cuisine, commonly used for flavoring, marinating, and dipping. Made through the fermentation of soybeans, wheat, salt, and water, it boasts a savory umami profile that enhances dishes like stir-fries, sushi, and soups. While soy sauce is low in calories and contains small amounts of protein, its sodium content is notably high, contributing to daily salt intake—something to watch for individuals managing blood pressure. Some varieties offer reduced-sodium options for a healthier alternative. Traditional fermentation methods can also provide trace amounts of beneficial compounds, such as antioxidants. However, moderation is key when incorporating soy sauce into your diet, ensuring a balance between its flavorful benefits and its impact on overall sodium intake.
