I've been putting this machine to work. I've made a lot of tinctures and infused oils. I'm going to try distilling my homemade wine tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be like a brandy. This thing is so amazing! Worth every penny. I'm getting so much done already. Later on I'll post pictures and the things I've made so far.

If you’re looking for a clean, flavorful alternative to soy sauce, coconut amino acids deserve a spot in your pantry. Made from the fermented sap of coconut blossoms and sea salt, this natural seasoning packs a savory punch — without the soy, gluten, or artificial additives that can sneak into traditional sauces. 💪 Key Benefits: ✅ Lower Sodium: Coconut aminos typically have 60–70% less sodium than soy sauce, which makes them a heart-friendly option for those watching salt intake. ✅ Amino Acid Rich: As the name suggests, they contain essential amino acids — the building blocks of protein that support muscle repair, hormone balance, and overall cellular health. ✅ Gut & Hormone Friendly: Unlike soy-based sauces, coconut aminos don’t contain phytoestrogens or GMOs. They’re also gentle on digestion and ideal for those with sensitivities. ✅ Allergen-Free: 100% gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free. A clean swap that fits paleo, keto, and Whole30 lifestyles. 🍳 How to Use Them: Coconut aminos work beautifully anywhere you’d use soy sauce — marinades, stir-fries, salad dressings, sushi, or even as a drizzle over roasted veggies or rice bowls. The flavor is slightly sweeter and less salty, which actually brings out the natural taste of the food more effectively. 🔁 Smart Substitutions: If you’re out of coconut aminos or can’t find them, here are a few quick swaps: - Tamari: A gluten-free soy sauce that’s similar in flavor but higher in sodium. - Liquid Aminos (Bragg’s): Made from soy but packed with amino acids — stronger and saltier than coconut aminos. - Homemade Mix: Combine 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar + 1 tbsp beef or vegetable broth + a dash of molasses — a surprisingly close match for texture and depth! 🌿 Purely Rooted Takeaway: Small swaps can make a big impact. Coconut aminos are a great example of how eating clean doesn’t mean giving up flavor — it just means getting smarter about your ingredients. What’s your favorite way to use coconut aminos?
