Eden Organic Tamari Soy Sauce
What it is
This is a naturally brewed tamari, a Japanese condiment made from fermented soybeans. It is brewed using traditional methods and is certified organic. Tamari is known for its rich, savory flavor and is a staple in many kitchens. This particular variety is produced domestically.
How people cook with it
Tamari is a versatile ingredient that can enhance a wide range of dishes. Its deep umami flavor makes it suitable for both cooking and as a finishing sauce.
- Marinades for meats and vegetables
- Dipping sauce for sushi and dumplings
- Flavoring stir-fries and noodle dishes
- Adding depth to soups and stews
Use tamari as you would soy sauce, but be aware that it often has a more intense flavor. It can be added directly to dishes during cooking to build layers of taste. For marinades, combine it with other ingredients like garlic, ginger, and a touch of sweetness. As a dipping sauce, it can be served on its own or mixed with ingredients like wasabi or chili oil. Its robust profile also makes it a good base for salad dressings and savory glazes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional soy sauce, tamari is made primarily from soybeans with little to no wheat. This results in a darker color, a richer, more complex flavor, and a smoother texture. It is often preferred by those seeking a wheat-free alternative or a more nuanced umami profile.
Who it is for
Home cooks and chefs who appreciate nuanced, traditional flavors and seek wheat-free options will find this tamari useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the tamari in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or refrigerator. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to preserve its flavor and aroma. Proper storage will help maintain its quality for an extended period.
