The 'True North' of tofu coagulants - It's well known that liquid nigari (magnesium chloride brine) makes tofu with superior flavor and texture. It's the reason why, in Japan, tofu made with nigari is priced at a significant premium to tofu made with other coagulants. Nigari tofu is also healthier because it adds magnesium, an essential mineral for the body that most people are lacking.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e? Made with love in Canada - Our nigari is crafted in small batches on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada. It's 100% sustainable because it's a natural consequence of the harvesting of our award-winning gourmet flake sea salt (also available on Amazon and as a cost-saving bundle with the nigari).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e? 100% natural - Unlike nigari crystals or gypsum coagulants that are made using chemicals, our liquid nigari is produced naturally, with a seven-step filtration process ensuring we start with the purest seawater possible before boiling at high temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e? Bang for your buck - Highly concentrated, each bottle contains enough coagulant for approximately 25 gallons of soy milk (depending on recipe).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e? It's not just about tofu - There are plenty of other culinary uses for nigari. Use it instead of lemon to coagulate soft cheeses like ricotta and paneer, and for enhacing the fermentation of sauerkraut, kimchi or sourdough bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eItem details\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBrand Name : Vancouver Island Sea Salt\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDiet Type : Vegan\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFlavor : Lemon\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eItem Form : liquid\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCuisine : Japanese\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAllergen Information : Allergen-Free\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUPC : 818710000506\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturer : Vancouver Island Salt Co\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBest Sellers Rank : #72,934 in Health \u0026amp; Household (See Top 100 in Health \u0026amp; Household)  #1,288 in Magnesium Mineral Supplements\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eASIN : B07JD8KXLY\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e? #72,934 in Health \u0026amp; Household (See Top 100 in Health \u0026amp; Household)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e? #1,288 in Magnesium Mineral Supplements\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNumber of Items : 1\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eItem Weight : 8 Ounces\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSize : 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNumber of Pieces : 1\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnit Count : 8 Fluid Ounces\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePackage Size Name : 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eProduct description\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiquid nigari for better tasting and healthier tofu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade naturally, in a beautiful place!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to make delicious tofu using liquid nigari - Step 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to make delicious tofu using liquid nigari - Step 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to make delicious tofu using liquid nigari - Step 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to make delicious tofu using liquid nigari - Step 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little goes a long way!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther uses for our liquid nigari\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's long been known that liquid nigari (magnesium chloride brine) makes the best tofu, with a refined texture and more balanced flavor profile compared to using crystals\/flakes, gypsum or other alternatives. The bitterness of nigari brings out the natural sweetness and a bit of the umami savoriness from the soy beans. In Japan, nigari tofu is priced at a significant premium to tofu made with other coagulants. Using nigari to make your tofu is also an easy way to supplement your diet with magnesium, one of the body's most essential minerals that the majority of people are lacking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur nigari is created naturally from the concentrated seawater brine left after harvesting our gourmet sea salt on beautiful Vancouver Island. Seawater is drawn from pristine shores, micro-filtered and boiled at high temperatures to ensure purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour liquid nigari comes with a basic tofu recipe, with more details available on our website.
