What it is

Granulated soy sauce is a dehydrated form of liquid soy sauce. It is made by drying liquid soy sauce, often using spray-drying methods, to create a powder that retains the savory flavor of traditional soy sauce.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use granulated soy sauce as a convenient source of soy sauce flavor in dry mixes and seasonings. It is often found in products like seasoned rice mixes, marinades, spice blends, and snack seasonings where a liquid form would be impractical.

Health notes

Granulated soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It primarily contributes sodium to the diet, similar to liquid soy sauce. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated soy sauce and its components, but specific evaluations for the granulated form are not widely publicized. Excessive sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure, a concern for many processed foods.

Allergen info

Soy is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Granulated soy sauce is derived from soy and therefore contains soy allergens.
