Their producer has been dedicated to perfecting Tofu since 1973 and produces Clearspring’s unique-recipe tofu using only 3 ingredients: fresh water, whole soya beans and nigari (a naturally occurring mineral-rich coagulant derived from seawater).

Premium quality, whole organic soya beans are specially contract grown for Clearspring. By law this means that the soya beans have to be sustainably cultivated, grown without the use of artificial fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides and cannot be Genetically Modified. Organic certification also means that the tofu production process does not permit commonly used processing aids such as defoamers, bleaches or preservatives. Nigari, a naturally occurring mineral rich coagulant derived from sea water. The base of nigari is magnesium chloride which makes tofu a good source of both magnesium and chloride. And fresh water - perfect! Check out some recipes here.

A few squares of their dark 70% complement your afternoon coffee perfectly.
