Coconut Amino Acids is a liquid seasoning that is very similar to soy sauce, except that it is made from the "juice" or nectar of coconuts. It has a rich, sweet-salty taste, with a texture almost identical to real soy sauce, but without gluten, soy, or MSG.
Coconut amino acids are lower in calories and carbohydrates than regular soy sauce. They also do not contain gluten, wheat, soy or monosodium glutamate. This makes the product an ideal substitute for soy sauce on a low-carb diet.
1 teaspoon of raw coconut amino acids contains:
- 5 calories
- 0 g fat
- 1 g carbohydrates
- 0 g protein
Benefit for health
1. Healthier than soy sauce
Great low-carb replacement for soy sauce because it doesn't contain MSG, soy, or gluten. Plus, coconut amino acids contain fewer grams of sodium per serving.
2. Coconuts are very beneficial for the body
Research shows that coconuts contain many health benefits. The fetus has been shown to have anthelmintic, analgesic, antinociceptive, antiarthritic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antidiarrheal, antimicrobial, antitumor, antibacterial, antipyretic and hypoglycemic effects.
Further research indicates that coconut may also have antihypertensive, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, anti-retraction, cytotoxic, vasodilatory, nephroprotective, and anti-osteoporotic effects.
3. Good source of healthy bacteria
Fermented foods are beneficial because they provide many beneficial bacteria and yeast that aid in digestion.
Coconut amino acids are fermented foods, which means they can provide health benefits in terms of digestion and immunity by increasing the number of “good” bacteria in the gut.
4. Coconuts contain healthy fats
Coconut is a good source of healthy fats known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs).
They are especially beneficial for people on a keto diet because they are quickly converted to ketones in the body, producing instant energy.
5. Excellent source of amino acids
Coconut amino acids are an excellent source of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. You need them to build muscle.
6. Free of phytoestrogens
Unlike soy sauce, coconut amino acids do not contain phytoestrogens, which mimic the behavior of estrogen in the body, which can cause hormone imbalances.
Having too much estrogen in the body is known as estrogen dominance. It can contribute to weight gain, mood swings, and digestive problems.
Replacing soy sauce with coconut amino acids is a good way to remove phytoestrogens and other endocrine disorders from your diet.
