Why is liquid aminos better than soy sauce?
Chef's answer
Soy sauce is fermented (which means it contains some alcohol), while liquid aminos are not. While both liquid aminos and soy sauce contain sodium, added salt makes soy sauce's sodium content higher. As far as taste goes, they're pretty similar. Liquid aminos are less salty, milder, and slightly sweeter.
