What it is

Sweet tamari is a type of soy sauce that has added sweeteners, such as sugar or corn syrup. Tamari itself is traditionally made with more soybeans and less wheat than regular soy sauce, giving it a richer, less salty flavor. It is produced through a fermentation process similar to regular soy sauce.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sweet tamari to provide a savory, umami flavor along with sweetness. It is often used in marinades, stir-fry sauces, glazes, and as a dipping sauce, particularly in Asian-inspired dishes. Its balanced sweet and salty profile makes it versatile for enhancing the taste of various foods.

Health notes

Sweet tamari is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The primary ingredients, soy sauce components and sweeteners, have been evaluated by regulatory bodies. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soy sauce and its components. Evidence on the health effects of soy sauce consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns about sodium intake.

Allergen info

Sweet tamari is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It may also contain wheat, depending on the specific formulation, which is another major allergen.
