An increased salt intake can unknowingly affect your vitality and physical balance. Many traditional seasonings and sauces are packed with sodium, making it difficult to flavour your dishes without exceeding the recommended daily amount of salt. This can lead to frustration in the kitchen for anyone conscious of their health and blood pressure. Lima Shoyu 28% less salt organic offers the perfect solution. This organic soy sauce supports a salt-conscious lifestyle without you having to compromise on the rich, authentic flavour that completes your Asian and fusion dishes.
Key benefits
- 28% less salt: Helps manage your sodium intake, contributing to the maintenance of healthy blood pressure.
- Rich in protein: Naturally contains valuable plant-based proteins from organic soybeans.
- Authentic fermentation process: Traditionally fermented for a deep, complex flavour that instantly enriches your dishes.
- 100% Organic: Carefully formulated with ingredients from organic farming, free from artificial additives.
How it works
Lima Shoyu with reduced salt content is traditionally fermented with koji (Aspergillus oryzae). During this long process, the proteins from the soybeans and wheat are naturally broken down into amino acids, which provides the characteristic umami flavour. Thanks to a careful extraction procedure, the salt content has been reduced by 28% compared to regular shoyu, while the aromatic components are fully preserved. This means you need less salt to create a full, savoury taste sensation.

Usage & Dosage
The typical flavour of Shoyu is the result of aromatic components formed during fermentation. These are temperature-sensitive. Therefore, Shoyu is not resistant to prolonged heating and should only be added at the end of the cooking process so that the flavour is not lost. Shoyu pairs perfectly with pickles, stir-fry dishes, rice, noodles, sushi, sashimi or steamed vegetables, with mirin (rice wine), wasabi, ginger or grated daikon.
