Two very good ones are:

Wan Ja Shan Naturally Brewed Organic Tamari Wheat-Free Soy Sauce

San-J Organic Tamari Wheat-Free Soy Sauce

I like Wan Ja Shan best, but the difference is one of personal preference.

Hi everyone,

I used to buy a soy free soy sauce at my WF, but they have discontinued

it & I don't have the bottle. It's not the coconut amino acid one that

is presently on the shelves.

Does anyone remember the name of it & who makes it? I need to ask them

to reorder.

Thanks,

Jeannie

If you are looking for soy and wheat free alternatives to soy sauce, many asian grocery stores carry black bean sauce. It's often labeled as 'wheat free soy sauce' in English, but the Chinese lettering “黑豆†(hei dou, or black bean in English) will be on the bottle and the ingredients in English will say " black bean, water, salt. " Here's pics of the bottles for a couple that I found:

I'm sorry -- in reading quickly I thought you had written that you were looking for a GF soy sauce at WF, when actually you were looking for a soy-free soy sauce. My apologies for carelessness.

Yes Jeannie - I have been looking for it also. It is GF and soy free....by Yin. I just used my last bottle and have been checking my local WF for it - no luck.

It says on their site that you can order cases. I may have to resolve to do this soon. It was much better that the coconut one!

In general, I've found WF receptive to ordering items to be bought individually in the store, rather than by the case. I don't know if that would work for everything, but it has for the things I've wanted.

Very interesting - I had no idea they were a soybean variety!Cheers,JoeOn Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 11:39 AM, Cheri <cheritc@...> wrote:

I will second this information regarding " black beans " in Chinese cuisine. I am a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine and I know that what is generally translated as " black beans " means black *soy* beans - a variety of soy beans. In our Materia Medica they are referred to as " dan dou chi " and are indeed Semen Praeparatum Sojae (Latin is helpful).

Joe is correct in his translation, and if you follow the translation on this website, they clearly identify it as black soybean.

I'm soy intolerant and was sad to find out this little fact as I loved fermented black bean sauce. Alas.....
