About Soy Sauce
Soy sauce is a traditional ingredient in many Chinese recipes. However, soy sauce does have a high salt content, which people on reduced salt diets should be aware of. We have found that a little soy sauce is also an excellent addition to sauces and marinades. There are several flavors of soy sauce, and most larger super markets carry several brands. Select the one that is most pleasing to you. See the nutritional chart below.

Some background information:
Over the years, people have been asking us, “What do vegans eat?” This is probably because they first think about a flesh product first and everything else as a side dish. So, we began publishing the huge variety of plant foods that are available for us to eat in this section of our web site. Additionally, we are always on the lookout for something new to add to our collection and experiment with to incorporate into our meals. We have also found that eating mostly unprocessed plant foods make us much more healthy.
