Soy sauce is a salty and umami-rich condiment made from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and water. It is low in calories but rich in antioxidants and amino acids. Soy sauce supports digestion, adds depth of flavor, and can enhance nutrient absorption when used with vegetables and proteins. It is widely used in stir-fries, marinades, dipping sauces, and sushi. Some varieties are reduced-sodium for heart-conscious consumption. Regular use enhances flavor, provides antioxidants, and complements a variety of dishes.
