To use Wegmans Organic Coconut Aminos, simply pour it into your recipes where you would typically use soy sauce or tamari. It works wonderfully in marinades, allowing the natural sweetness to tenderize proteins. When making stir-fries, add it towards the end of cooking to build a rich, savory glaze. It can also be whisked into vinaigrettes for a unique twist on salads or used as a flavorful dipping sauce for appetizers. Adjust the amount to your taste preference, as its flavor is less salty than traditional soy sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
