What is coconut a amino n where can u get it?…want to try these. Is there a substitute for that?
Hi Judy,
Coconut aminos are a fermented condiment much like soy sauce (only made without soy or wheat and lower in sodium). You can find them in well-stocked grocery stores, health food stores, Trader Joe’s and online at places such as Amazon and Thrive Market. If you’re not worried about the soy, gluten-free tamari sauce can be used in place of the coconut aminos (you may need to taste as you go to be sure the dish doesn’t get too salty as tamari is often saltier than coconut aminos).
