Tamari

Tamari is a Japanese-style soy-based seasoning commonly used in Asian and fusion cooking for marinades, dipping sauces and finishing dishes. It delivers a savory, umami-rich flavor and is often chosen as a gluten-free alternative to regular soy sauce. Nutritionally it stands out for being a plant-based source of protein, providing about 10g of protein per 100g, and it also supplies trace minerals such as manganese and copper. Compared with standard soy sauces, low-sodium tamari keeps the same umami profile while reducing sodium; it also contributes useful amino acids and some micronutrients that make it a relatively nutritious condiment when used sparingly.
