CHUNG HING FRESH SUPER TOFU 500 G
$6.49
Tofu is a food made of condensed soy milk that is pressed into solid white blocks in a process quite similar to cheesemaking. It originated in China.
Rumor has it that a Chinese cook discovered tofu more than 2,000 years ago by accidentally mixing a batch of fresh soy milk with nigari.
Nigari is what remains when salt is extracted from seawater. It is a mineral-rich coagulant used to help tofu solidify and keep its form.
Most of the world’s soybean are currently grown in the US, and a very large proportion is genetically modified (GMO).
Although GMOs are controversial, research has so far not found them to be harmful to human health
