Granulated Tamari Soy Sauce

Granulated tamari soy sauce is a dehydrated form of tamari, a Japanese sauce similar to soy sauce but traditionally made with only soybeans and salt, without wheat. The liquid tamari is spray-dried to create a powder or granular form, concentrating its savory, umami flavor.

Manufacturers add granulated tamari soy sauce to provide a concentrated, salty, and umami flavor to dry mixes, rubs, marinades, and snacks. It's used in seasoning blends for chips, nuts, and other savory products where a liquid sauce would be impractical.

Tamari, like other soy sauces, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It is a source of sodium, and consumers seeking to reduce sodium intake may wish to limit consumption of foods high in soy sauce. JECFA has evaluated soy sauce and established an acceptable daily intake. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption of tamari in a balanced diet.
