Soy sauce is a delicious condiment that can complement many meals. It has its origins in China, and it adds a unique salty flavor to your food. Soy sauce has a host of nutritional benefits, but beware: eating too much sodium can be detrimental to your health. When enjoyed in moderation, soy sauce has anti-allergenic and antioxidant properties, so eating some on a regular basis could help keep you healthy and possibly even prevent cancer or heart disease.
