What are Coconut Aminos…?

Coconut aminos is a condiment or sauce made from the ‘sap’ of the coconut palm, (coconut-blossom nectar) – fermented and blended with sea salt.
Becoming popular in the Paleo diet, the sauce makes a great substitute for Soy sauce, with up to 73% less sodium, it’s a tasty way to add soy & gluten-free flavor to any recipe.
