Organic Tamari Soy Sauce

Organic tamari soy sauce is a Japanese seasoning made from fermented soybeans, salt, and water. Unlike regular soy sauce, it is typically brewed with a higher proportion of soybeans to wheat, or sometimes with no wheat at all, giving it a richer, less salty flavor. The 'organic' designation means the soybeans and any other ingredients used are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Tamari is used as a savory seasoning and flavor enhancer in a wide variety of dishes. Its deep umami flavor makes it a popular choice for marinades, stir-fries, dipping sauces, and salad dressings. It is also used to add depth to soups, stews, and even baked goods.

Tamari soy sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Like other soy products, it contains isoflavones, which are plant compounds studied for various health effects, though research is ongoing and evidence is mixed. JECFA has evaluated soy sauce and established acceptable intake levels. High sodium content in tamari can be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake.
