What kind of soy sauce is gluten-free?

The kind that doesn’t have wheat. Most soy sauces actually do—and that surprised me the first time I checked. Now, I only use ones that say “gluten-free” right on the bottle. If it’s not clear, I won’t risk it. Kikkoman makes a gluten-free version, and so does San-J. They both taste great and don’t leave anyone out at the table.

What’s a good alternative to soy sauce for celiacs?

Coconut aminos. It’s not soy, it’s not wheat, and it still adds that salty, savory thing we all want in sauces. I always have a bottle in the pantry, and honestly? I reach for it even when no one’s gluten-free. It’s that good.

What’s the difference between tamari and gluten-free soy sauce?

Tamari’s thicker and deeper in flavor. It’s usually gluten-free, but not always, so you have to check. Gluten-free soy sauce is brewed to match regular soy sauce, just without wheat. I switch between the two depending on what I’m cooking.

Is Kikkoman gluten free soy sauce celiac safe?

Yes—if it says “gluten-free” on the front. Kikkoman makes a few different kinds, so you have to be sure you grab the right one. I’ve used their gluten-free soy sauce for friends with celiac, and it’s always been fine.
