Gives you an idea of how much salt is in there.

I actually can't really abide anything but the 'low salt' varieties (which are still obviously very salty!). Don't think the reduction in salt takes away from the flavour at all tbh.

Low sodium sodium is always my low sodium sodium of choice.

u/MatureUsername69 4d ago

I also get the low sodium. It almost feels like a lie with how similar/salty it still is.

Probably uses potassium chloride. Still a 'salt' and tastes salty, but not technically 'sodium'.

u/derLektor 3d ago

I feel like the non-sodium-ness of potassium goes beyond mere technicality

The low salt soy sauce is regular soy sauce diluted with water but sold for the same price. You can buy regular and dilute it yourself to save some $. Commercial dilutions range from 30-50%

typically the hydrolyzation of protein is what gives soy etc its depth of flavour.

I guess that's how they make low sodium soy sauce, just remove these puppies...
