What are coconut aminos?
If you aren't familiar with coconut aminos, it's my Paleo Vegan go-to replacement for soy sauce that’s both gluten and soy-free! This fermented coconut blossom sap is a bit sweeter than soy sauce but with MUCH less sodium! Pro tip: add a squeeze of lemon or lime for added flavor and umami.
Why do I prefer it over Soy Sauce?
Most soy sauces have ingredients like flavor enhancers, preservatives, and coloring, and all soy sauces, even the best quality ones have gluten, soy, and a TON of Sodium.
For many consumers these ingredients just don't work. Many find they are -
· sensitive to gluten
· have a hard time digesting soy
· and have too much sodium in their diet overall
So if you love Asian flavors as much as I do but have food sensitivities or are just trying to eat a more whole food diet, you gotta give coconut aminos a try!
