You know, I was fully an adult when I realized that soy sauce was made with soybeans?

(Of course, soy sauce in packets often isn't, but that's beside the point.)

So I can be forgiven for only realizing just now the hidden gem in rising grain (including corn) prices....

Less high fructose corn syrup all over the place!

Seriously, once you get out of the habit of eating lots of foods with that, it tastes really obvious and disgusting. And it sneaks in a lot of places, too.

Umm, then what is in packets of soy sauce?

ironicly enough, a sort of flat beer with added syrup.

Water, vinegar, corn syrup, food coloring, and "hydrolized vegetable protein". Which may in fact be soy protein, but I don't consider that to count.
