Peel Regoin ~ Coconut Amino

Hey all,

A couple of years ago, I've discovered that I have a lot of food interolances. Soy is the worst offender. It hasn't been such a horrible deal because it has been forcing me to eat very, very healthy foods instead of the usual 'American' diet. However, Japanese is my favourite cuisine. Since it's abuot 90% soy, I've had to avoid it entirely since this discovery.

I recently found out that you can get coconut amino which has the exact same taste and texture as soy sauce! I've been looking for it, but I haven't managed to find any, anywhere.

So, if you live in Peel Regoin (Mississauga/Brampton) do you know where I can get some of this stuff? I want to have sushi this weekend!

Edited to add: Coconut amino and amino supplements are not the same thing. Coconut amino is a soy sauce replacement. It's a liquid, meant for cooking/eating, not a powder or pill.

  • I don't live in the area but it's hard to get a lot of healthy foods here as well. I usually just hit up Amazon, which almost always has what I'm looking for.

    Good luck!

    I know lowcarbcanada.ca carries it. They ship from Missisauga but I dunno if you can just walk in. The shipping is super fast though.

    EDIT: They might have a store front - they have hours posted:

    I'll be getting it from there, if I have no other choice. I much prefer stopping by a store to pick up a product over paying for someone to mail me what I'm looking for.
