Kikkoman Soy Sauce

KikkomanHopefully, everyone knows by now that condiments and food ingredients make the calorie count of our meals add up. Unitl recently, I didn't know that it was possible to season meat without adding soy sauce to it. I ran out, and had no way to get to the grocery store, so I grudgingly did without it - and my chicken still came out surprisingly good. This was good (for me) to know because 1 tablespoon of Kikkoman Soy Sauce has 920 mg of sodium, which is 36% of the recommended daily amount. Diet Trash For those of you who don't use soy sauce in your cooking - 1 tablespoon is nothing! I add like 1/4 cup - which is 4 tablespoons. Soy sauce is also what's added to fried rice for you chinese food lovers - so you can imagine the sodium levels of that!

Try Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce-- it has 40% less sodium than the regular. Even better is Trader Joe's low sodium soy sauce (it has a green top)-- it boasts even less sodium per tablespoon.

The trader joe variety has 460 mg per tablespoon. They claim its 60% less sodium than the regular which has 1220 mg. Based on that, the stuff you have been eating is already somewhat low sodium. Make you feel better? I like your diet trash stamp by the way!!

My sister is a total soy sauce snob, she'll only eat the kikoman brand, but for some reason, I find it a bit harsh tasting.

I love kikkoman too - only brand I use. I'm definitely going to try the low sodium version. Thanks for the tip Kim.

Kikkoman is my least favorite soy sauce, I think it is way too salty.
