## Overview

Ohsawa Natural Nigari is a 1-pound, traditionally sun-dried magnesium chloride coagulant extracted from ocean water. It enables the creation of over 50 pounds of firm, silky tofu with a naturally sweet flavor, free from chemical additives. Ideal for macrobiotic, vegan, and gluten-free diets, it also supports detoxification and magnesium intake, making it a must-have for health-conscious culinary enthusiasts.

## Description

Ohsawa’s nigari is naturally and traditionally extracted from sea salt and then sun dried. It brings out the sweet and flavorful taste of soybeans and allows your tofu to maintain its firm shape. Tofu is a complete source of dietary protein, providing all of the essential amino acids needed in the diet. Nigari is the solidifying agent needed for homemade and hand-made tofu and consists of magnesium chloride, with some magnesium sulfate and other trace elements, after the salt has been removed from sea water. It helps thicken the soybean milk and the soybean curd is then squeezed and pressed into its solid form of tofu. Nigari helps your tofu maintain a firm and silky texture. One pound of soybeans, made into soymilk and coagulated with 3 teaspoons of nigari, will yield approximately 3 1/2 to 4 pounds of fresh tofu. Also excellent for the beverage nigari-sui, which is prepared by dissolving ¼ to ½ teaspoon of nigari in 1 liter of water. This beverage is valued in Japan for its rejuvenation and detoxification properties. Mainly used in the macrobiotic diet, the isoflavones in soybeans have been linked to a range of health benefits.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well
*by S***E on September 11, 2019*

There is a moment in tofu-making, when you have soaked your soybeans overnight, then blended them with water, then cooked the mixture carefully watching to see it doesn't boil over (dang, when it FINALLY starts to boil, it goes so fast!), then gone through straining your HOT mixture through a piece of cotton cloth and then pressing all you can out of the okara, when at long last you have a big hot pan of fresh soymilk and you add your nigari-and-water mixture, slowly, carefully, then put on the cover and wait ... I think of this as THE MAGIC MOMENT, when your soymilk turns to wonderful curds and whey; when you take off the cover and rejoice! It is quite wonderful, and this nigari works very well. As another reviewer mentioned, don't use too much! This tofu-making is an art form. I've been using the directions from _The Farm Vegetarian Cookbook_, edited by Louise Hagler, 1978.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love tofu
