I cut up a goodly amount of spanish onion coarsely with some garlic, sauteed very slowly in olive oil until they started to caramelize...then I added beet greens and red chard.....put a lid on to slightly steam...when they started to break down then I sprayed them with Braggs Aminos and red chile flakes. Oh YUM....they were soooo good! mmmmmm

 
Where have you been, Marsha? Too much fun in the sun? great greens. I can't eat chard tho. Makes

me pucker.

 
Braggs Aminos? I've never heard of this product until now......who else has used this .....

and do you like it? I did a google and found out it is similar to soy sauce. Is it as tasty?

 
It takes the place of salt wonderfully well...it's a little of an acquired taste

IMHO....now that I'm used it, I don't mind it and use it in the greens, in eggs mostly.

 
After reading the link, I'm smiling...folks in the science world are always trying to

discourage consummation of items of products from the health food industry.

We've never gotten sick on it; my nutritionist who I've known for 25 years has never gotten sick on it and he tests body chemistry, when I eat in the cafe of the health food store I go in, folks sprinkle it on their salads and they don't get sick.

Just like any other product you want to buy you'll find folks who swear by it and others who hate it.

 
Here you go, info on Braggs Aminos.....

What are Amino Acids?
Amino Acids are the building blocks of all our organs and tissues. They are also the building blocks from which different food proteins are constructed. When we eat a protein food, such as meat or soybeans, the natural hydrochloric acid in the stomach digests the protein, releasing the Amino Acids. They are the link between the food we eat and assimilation for our body tissue. Lack of adequate Amino Acids may make it impossible for the vitamins and minerals to perform their specific duties.

What is the difference between Bragg Liquid Aminos and regular Soy Sauce?
Bragg Liquid Aminos is a healthy alternative to Soy and Tamari sauce. No table salt or preservatives are added.

Are the soybeans used for Bragg Liquid Aminos genetically engineered?
Our Liquid Aminos is third party certified non-GMO. The GMO soybeans are produced by Monsanto and are sold under the brand name of Roundup Ready. These soybeans were altered to resist the herbicide glyphosate and have been available since 1995. Bragg Live Food Products buys its Liquid Aminos ingredients from a combine soy operation which, in turn, buys the soybeans from numerous sources in the central part of the United States. No soybeans produced from Roundup Ready seeds are purchased as part of this collective method, and are not used in Bragg products.

If there is no salt in the Liquid Aminos, where does the salty taste come from?
The salty taste comes from the soybeans that are used to make Bragg Liquid Aminos. There is no salt added of any kind (land or sea). The naturally occurring sodium from the soybeans is 100-115 mg. per 1/2 tsp. This is 1/10 the sodium content of table salt.

Is it OK for a person on a low-salt or sodium diet to use Liquid Aminos?
It is OK for an individual on a low-salt or sodium diet to have small amounts of the Liquid Aminos (just a few teaspoons) a day for seasoning. Bragg Liquid Aminos are not recommended for persons on no-salt or sodium diets.

Are Liquid Aminos Kosher certified?
Yes.

Should Bragg Liquid Aminos be refrigerated?
Bragg Liquid Aminos does not need to be refrigerated as it has a 3-5 year shelf life. However, we recommend that you keep the product out of direct sunlight, in a relatively cool location.

Which Amino Acids does Bragg Liquid Aminos contain?

Ang, try blanching chard leaves first--toss into a big pot of boiling, salted water. Cook for just

a few minutes, then drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Squeeze dry, then add to your recipe.

You'll be amazed how delicate and delicious it tastes.

The stalks are another story entirely. Braise them all afternoon in a covered baking dish with a little water, lemon juice, salt and butter, cooking beyond all recognition, and you'll swear you've invented a whole new vegetable.
