Darlene and I both use Bragg’s Liquid Aminos and have for years. I’ve looked into this and to the best of my knowledge Braggs Liquid Aminos and Braggs All Purpose Seasoning is the exact same thing. One is the US version and one is the Canadian Version. Because we use Braggs so much, I thought I’d post this here on the blog so that we can refer to it when needed. Braggs is a healthy replacement product for Soy Sauce.

Where Do You Get Braggs Liquid Aminos
Of course the next logical question is where do you buy this stuff? It’s available anywhere natural foods are sold and that’s just about anywhere now. I get mine here in Edmonton at my local Planet Organic store. There are two Planet Organic stores in Edmonton, one at Jasper and 122st and the other at 80 ave and 104 st, next to Blockbuster Video. It’s also available in the natural food section of Save-on-Foods and probably at Safeway. Darlene and I buy the small pump version shown here so that we can control the amount that we put on our foods. Then we buy the larger bottle and use it to refill the pump bottle. We store the small pump bottle in the fridge and the large bottle in our pantry without worry of it going bad. I really don’t know why we keep the small bottle in the fridge, just habit I guess.

Great stuff… you can get this in all sizes on http://www.shopnatural.com
Here is a link with some great protein recipes using Braggs Liquid Aminos that my wife and I use a lot.
google for braggs liquid amino and you’ll find that it’s made from soy slurry mixed with hydrochloric acid, then neutralised with baking soda or other base chemical.
make your own conclusions
I had my doubt about Braggs liquid amino. After all, how can a liquid soy that is supposed not to be fermentated can get this dark color unless it is carbonized or processed in an non-natural way?
Better turn to non genetically modified soya sauce!
You failed to notify readers that there is MSG in Braggs
Liquid Aminos. We have recently found this out. We used Braggs Aminos for over 10 years. The label used to say “no MSG” but the FDA has told them to take off that statement because there is MSG in the aminos. No wonder such a salty taste.
What a letdown.
@Sue, there is NO WAY that MSG is in Braggs liquid aminos. The Bragg family is completely committed to natural health and most certainly would not put MSG in their products.
I’d have to see that on the Bragg’s website or in some sort of announcement from the Bragg family before I would believe it.
it’s a soy sauce. It has sodium in it. That’s why it tastes salty
could you please leave or submit some sort of reference that leads you to believe this about Bragg’s and MGS
@Sue, after typing that last response, I’ve had a quick look (as I’m heading out the door) and will do some more research on the subject.
You’ve opened a very interesting can of worms for me here.
hmmmm, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Hi Rob,
Below is the link where I found that Braggs Aminos is not what it claims.
http://www.welikeitraw.com/rawfood/2005/06/bragg liquid am.html
I know. We trusted and believed in everything the man said,
but now have large doubts.
any soy sauce will have naturally occurring msg. it isn’t added as an ingredient, but it occurs naturally in mushrooms and fermented soy products.
Cara,
MSG may be in fermented soy sauces.
But the Bragg Empire says that Braggs Aminos is not fermented.
How do you explain that?
Rob, go easy on SUE. She us just trying to pass on the truth. Here is a link. Braggs has already stated that the soy is hydrolyzed. This creates glutamic acids (thats what the “g” in msg is).

Vic
Remember, arsenic is also “all natural”
@Victor, believe me, I’m totally in the Bragg camp. Totally. They’ve been doing health longer than I’ve been alive. I still use Braggs and will continue to use it.
I’m simply getting my facts straight so that I know what the latest poop on the subject is.
I’m ALL in favor of Braggs Liquid Aminos.
hey, “arsenic is also natural” is MY line! lol
thanks for the comment
