Eden Organic Tamari Soy Sauce
What it is
This is a naturally brewed tamari, a Japanese sauce made from fermented soybeans. The organic certification indicates that the soybeans and other ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to organic farming standards. It offers a rich, savory flavor profile that is distinct from regular soy sauce.
How people cook with it
Tamari is a versatile condiment that adds depth and umami to a wide range of dishes.
- Marinades for meats and vegetables
- Dipping sauce for sushi and dumplings
- Flavoring stir-fries and noodle dishes
- Adding depth to soups and stews
When cooking, tamari can be used in many ways. It is excellent as a base for marinades, providing a salty and complex flavor that tenderizes proteins. In stir-fries, it is added during the cooking process to coat ingredients and build layers of taste. For soups and sauces, a small amount can significantly enhance the overall savory character. It can also be used in salad dressings or as a finishing touch to bring dishes together.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional soy sauce, tamari is typically made with a higher proportion of soybeans and little to no wheat. Its brewing process also contributes to a smoother, more mellow taste profile.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the tamari in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry. Refrigeration is often recommended to preserve its flavor and quality over time. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and maintain its freshness for future use.
