Tauco, or fermented soybean paste, is a traditional ingredient common in Indonesian cuisine. Made from soybeans, salt, and occasionally flour, Tauco undergoes fermentation, which produces its signature savory, umami flavor and unique aroma. It is often used as a base for sauces, soups, and stir-fried dishes, adding depth and richness to the flavors. Soybeans are a great source of plant-based protein, vitamins, and minerals, including iron and magnesium. Fermentation enhances its digestibility and introduces probiotics, which may contribute to gut health. However, Tauco is high in sodium due to the salt used in preservation, making it less suitable for those monitoring their salt intake. As a versatile ingredient, Tauco can transform simple dishes into flavorful ones, but moderation is recommended for maintaining a balanced diet.
