Bragg's Liquid Aminos

Can you use it instead of soy sauce across the board for all recipes? It's much lower in sodium, right?

It has a different taste but you can certainly use Bragg's instead. Bragg's has 320 mg of sodium per teaspoon. That's about the same as Tamari and shoyu.

Is Bragg's Liquid Aminos the same as Bragg's Liquid Soy Seasoning? I haven't found anything called liquid aminos. But the Bragg's Liquid Soy Seasoning (gluten, preservative and alcohol free) has 160 mg of sodium per 2.5 mls (that's 960 mg of sodium per teaspoon!!)

Are we talking about the same thing, I wonder?

Hmmm, my bottle of Bragg's looks like this: http://bragg.com/products/bragg-liquid-aminos-soy-alternative.html. And the side of that bottle says exactly what the facts panel says at the bottom of that page. 1/2 tsp = 160 mg of sodium.

I think we are talking about the same thing.

There are 5 ml in a teaspoon. Does that clear anything up?

Ooops...I was multiplying by 4 instead of two..

It appears to be the same product -just called a different name.

Thanks for clearing that up.
