Liquid Aminos

Put simply, liquid aminos taste very similar to soya sauce, except they come loaded with health benefits.

Aminos or amino acids are the building blocks of all our organs and tissue. There are 21 amino acids that help to build and repair your body, nine of which aren’t generated naturally, so we have to consume them.

These amino acids can be found in high-protein foods like meat, nuts and soya beans, the latter being what liquid aminos are made from. It’s especially important for people following a plant-based diet to consider liquid aminos, as it’s more difficult to find the nine essential amino acids without consuming animal products. So, why choose liquid amino acids? Unlike soya sauce, liquid aminos don’t contain wheat, they have no added salt and they aren’t fermented – meaning, if you’re gluten intolerant or have to steer clear of alcohol, liquid aminos are a great substitute.
