FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between tamari and soy sauce?
Tamari is a Japanese form of soy sauce made with little to no wheat, whereas traditional soy sauce (shoyu) contains about 40-60% wheat.
Is all tamari gluten-free?
Most tamari is gluten-free, but you should always check the label as some brands may include trace amounts of wheat.
How long does tamari last after opening?
When refrigerated, tamari can last for up to 1-2 years, though its flavor is best within the first 6 months.
Can I use tamari if I have a soy allergy?
No, tamari is made from fermented soybeans and is not safe for those with soy allergies.
Does tamari need to be refrigerated?
While its high salt content makes it shelf-stable, refrigeration is highly recommended to prevent the flavor from changing over time.
What is a good substitute for tamari?
Liquid aminos or coconut aminos are the best gluten-free and soy-free alternatives.
Is tamari high in sodium?
Yes, tamari is very high in sodium. Look for 'reduced sodium' versions if you are monitoring your salt intake.
How do I pick a high-quality tamari?
Look for 'traditionally brewed' or 'organic' tamari that lists only water, soybeans, salt, and koji as ingredients.
