FAQ
- Why does HVP soy sauce weigh less than water per cup?
- At 0.981 g/ml, this reduced-sodium HVP soy sauce has fewer dissolved salts than traditional soy sauce, bringing its density below water's 1.000 g/ml so that one cup weighs only about 233 grams instead of 237 grams.
- How does HVP soy sauce differ from naturally brewed soy sauce in density?
- HVP soy sauce at 0.981 g/ml is lighter because the acid-hydrolysis process and reduced sodium content yield fewer dissolved solids than naturally brewed varieties, which typically register above 1.0 g/ml.
- How much does a tablespoon of reduced-sodium HVP soy sauce weigh?
- One tablespoon (about 14.8 ml) weighs approximately 14.5 grams at 0.981 g/ml, which is slightly less than a tablespoon of water and notably lighter than full-sodium fermented soy sauces.
