Why does soy sauce have so much sodium?


soy
RBKG (die hard cubs fan) asked:


The soy sauce I just bought has 960 mg of sodium in just one tablespoon. That’s 40% of DV.
Well I meant is the salt just there for taste or is there another reason?

They make a lower salt version also, so try that. However, it still has quite a bit.
