Tamari

Tamari is a Japanese-style fermented soy sauce, typically made primarily from soybeans and often brewed with little or no wheat. It is used as a savory, umami-rich seasoning and condiment.

Nutritional highlights

Tamari is low in calories and provides small amounts of protein and minerals, but its most notable nutritional feature is its very high sodium content.

Caution. Tamari is typically very high in sodium, so people with hypertension, kidney disease, or sodium-restricted diets should use it sparingly; some varieties also contain wheat, so labels should be checked for gluten.
