Naturally Brewed Gluten Free Tamari Soy Sauce

Tamari is a type of soy sauce that is traditionally brewed with more soybeans and less wheat than standard soy sauce. This gluten-free version is made by fermenting soybeans with salt and water, often without wheat, or with a gluten-free grain substitute. The brewing process creates a rich, umami flavor.

Manufacturers use tamari as a savory seasoning and flavoring agent in a wide variety of dishes. It adds depth and complexity to sauces, marinades, stir-fries, and dips. Its gluten-free nature makes it a popular choice for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities.

Tamari is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of sodium, and high sodium intake can be a concern for some individuals. JECFA has evaluated soy sauce and its components, but no specific ADI is set for tamari itself. Soy is one of the major allergens recognized by the FDA.
