Soy sauces: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Soy sauces are fermented sauces made from soybeans, used widely in East and Southeast Asian cooking to add a salty, umami flavour. This category includes traditional soy sauces, tamari (often gluten-free), light and dark varieties, and reduced-salt options. When choosing a soy sauce, check the nutrition label for salt content. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises adults to have no more than 6g of salt a day, and UK labels declare salt content. Some soy sauces can also contain added sugars, so looking at the ingredients list for sugar or sweeteners can be helpful if you wish to limit these. The primary ingredient in soy sauce is soybeans, and a higher position on the ingredients list generally indicates a greater proportion in the product. While not a significant source of fibre, the fermentation process can contribute to the complex flavour profile of soy sauces. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
