*COCONUT AMIN-WHO?: Coconut aminos is a soy free, gluten-free alternative to soy sauce made from the sap of the coconut plant. Its salty, umami flavor makes it the perfect substitute if you’re cooking soy and gluten-free, and it’s not hard to find in most grocery stores. Look for it near the soy sauce in the Asian foods section!
