Soy sauce, light and dark varieties

Soy sauce is a liquid seasoning made from fermented soya beans, often with wheat and added salt. The figures here cover light and dark varieties. Per 100g, it provides 18g of carbohydrate, including 16g of sugars, alongside 3g of protein and 14g of salt. It contains only trace amounts of fat and fibre.

The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Light soy sauce does not necessarily mean reduced-salt soy sauce, and amounts vary between products. Soy sauce contains soya and may also contain wheat, which is relevant to people with food allergies or coeliac disease. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
