tamari
Wheat-free soy sauce
Tamari is a Japanese soy sauce, typically darker, thicker, and less salty than Chinese varieties.
It's traditionally made with little or no wheat, making it popular among those avoiding gluten: Use tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
The richer, more complex flavor suits dipping sauces and marinades.
