Review of Authentic tofu - Cauldron by sianski
I haven’t tried the Cauldron tofu before. It seems to be a relatively unprocessed product, containing #sustainablesoybeans and water and one other ingredient #calciumsulphate which is a mystery to me so I looked it up. It is a food additive used as an anticaking agent, dough conditioner and strengthener, flour treatment agent, pH regulator, thickenner and yeast food. Not sure whether it’s that good as a food additive. When I checked for safety, I read that The Food and Drug Administration classifies calcium sulfate as GRAS - generally recognized as safe. I can’t say Iwas all that reassured. So if anyone knows more about this ingredient I’d love to hear about it #abillionknowledge
Back to the tofu. It needed pressing to extract excess water - 15/20minutes. I opted to fry it. It stuck to the pan unlike other brands I buy and I wished I’d seasoned it or marinaded it first as it was very bland. However, once cooked it worked well as a protein element with a homemade vegan Caesar salad. The delicious dressing of mayo blended with #tahini and #capers made up for the plain tofu.
It’s a #carbonneutral product and well priced at £2.65 in #waitrose
