What it is

Tamari powder is a dried form of tamari, a type of soy sauce. It is made by dehydrating liquid tamari, which is traditionally brewed from soybeans, salt, and water, often with a smaller amount of wheat than regular soy sauce. The powder form offers a concentrated umami flavor and saltiness.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use tamari powder as a flavor enhancer and a source of saltiness in dry mixes and seasonings. It is often found in products like soup mixes, spice blends, marinades, and snack seasonings, providing a savory, umami taste.

Health notes

Tamari powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of sodium, and high sodium intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated soy sauce and its components. Evidence on the health effects of tamari powder at typical consumption levels is limited, but it is not associated with significant health concerns when used as intended.

Allergen info

Tamari powder is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It may also contain wheat, depending on the specific production method, which would make it a source of gluten.
