Has anyone tried the soy sauce alternative "Coconut Aminos"? I just bought some at a local market. It was on sale ( $5.69 bottle). I am going to try to use it in my peanut sauce recipe and also in my teriyaki marinade. I'll let you know how it goes.

Leah, is that the brand name of it? Do you think it could be purchased at Whole Foods? Very interested in it!

Yes Mandy, when I looked it up, Whole Foods was the first store that showed it.... but the closest one to me is in San Francisco and that's kind of a pain with parking and all. I think they listed it for 7.99. And yes, that is what it is called :)

Thank you! Going to get it! My kids and I eat a lot of GF soy sauce. Might as well try this too!

I've tried it, Leah, with no ill effects, but I didn't like it really well. It might be useful for certain things, if I could figure out what to do with it that I liked. :-)

I ordered it online. I still have 2 bottles of it and I probably won't use them because I like my own homemade"soy sauce" better. I'll send them to you if you like it.

Chris,

Have you posted your recipe for your homemade "soy sauce" on the Dee's Kitchen board here? Because I could use it! :-)

Ok....will do.

Okay, so I made the chicken over noodles ( corn) with peanut sauce tonight. I used half the amount of coconut aminos in the sauce because when I took a tiny taste from the bottle, it was pretty strong. I also marinated the chicken tenders and also used half the amount. Then stir fried them. The dish was pretty good, but I didn't like the flavor of the chicken very much, so I don't think I'll marinate next time .

Yeah, Leah, that's pretty much how I felt. The Coconut Aminos doesn't taste much like soy sauce, IMO. In fact I'd rather do without. :-)

I have been reading A few threads today and came across this one after I ordered Coconut Aminos.
I noticed some of the prices here and saw I found A good deal.
You have suggested Coconut Animos recently to some newer members I would have to drive 50 miles to get its hard to do without soy but have to.
Here is the link I hope it saves some members time and money.

Thanks Terry

If I cant get a product in the town that is within 15 miles of home, i order online... have been ordering MC friendly products online since i was diagnosed 6 years ago...

I follow the same policy as Gabes for almost everything these days. The online prices are usually better than the local price plus the cost of driving (to say nothing of the time involved), and the selection is so much better.

Tex and Gabes
I agree besides the time it takes my DW in the grocery store.
As soon as we go in I want to get it done quick and get out but that never happens.
