Nutrition Tip
Soy sauce is sometimes considered an “unhealthy” ingredient, but it’s far from it. Soy sauce is a fragrant seasoning rich in antioxidants and can be a part of a wholesome diet (1). Unless you have an allergy or intolerance, there’s no need to shun soy sauce. If you’re concerned about sodium content, opt for a low-sodium soy sauce instead.
