Coconut aminos is a dark-colored sauce that tastes similar to soy sauce. Instead of being made from soy, however, coconut aminos comes from the sap of the coconut plant not coconuts. After extraction, the sap gets stored and ages. During this time, it ferments due to the natural sugars present within it.
You can use Coconut Aminos as a 1:1 substitute for those soy-based sauces in your cooking as it is great for making dressings, marinades and dips, or can be used to enrich the flavour of sautéed veggies, rice, stir-fries and soups. Coconut Aminos also makes the perfect healthy dipping sauce for sushi and dumplings!
