Eden Organic Tamari Soy Sauce
What it is
This is a naturally brewed tamari, a Japanese-style soy sauce. It is made from organic soybeans and has no wheat. Tamari is traditionally thicker and has a deeper, richer flavor than regular soy sauce. This version is produced domestically. It is a staple for many kitchens looking for a wheat-free alternative.
How people cook with it
Tamari is a versatile ingredient used to add depth and umami to a wide range of dishes. It can be used in marinades, stir-fries, dipping sauces, and dressings.
- Marinades for meats and tofu
- Flavoring stir-fries
- Dipping sauce base
- Salad dressing component
When cooking, tamari can be added early in the process to allow its complex flavors to meld with other ingredients. It is excellent in braises and stews, contributing a savory note that enhances the overall taste profile. For quick applications, it can be whisked into vinaigrettes or used as a finishing sauce for grilled items. Its concentrated flavor means a little goes a long way, so it is often added incrementally to achieve the desired taste.
How it differs from similar foods
It also tends to be darker and more viscous, with a more pronounced soybean flavor that is less salty and more complex than many other soy sauces.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs seeking a wheat-free, savory seasoning will find this tamari useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the tamari in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry. Refrigeration is not strictly necessary but can help preserve its flavor for longer periods. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and maintain its quality.
