#ChefSisi: Coconut Aminos The Next Big Food Trend?


What are Coconut Aminos?

Coconut Aminos is a soy free alternative seasoning to soy sauce (NOT A REPLACEMENT). It was developed by siblings for their father who is a diabetic to give him healthier seasoning options. It is made from the sap of coconut blossoms. It is 65% less sodium than soy sauce and is non GMO, gluten free, and vegan.

How is the TASTE? 

First of like I mentioned before this is NOT A REPLACEMENT to soy sauce. It has the salty flavor of soy sauce but is much sweeter. And even though it is made from coconuts it doesn't have any coconut flavor at all. It is super tasty and can be used with many dishes, proteins, veggies and such. I personally really love the taste and so does my 10 year old brother. So definitely kid approved. I do recommend adding it after the dish is made for optimal flavor. When you cook it too much you lose a bit of the flavor.
