Sahu Natural Liquid Nigari is harvested from the traditional salt fields of Sa Huynh. It is the liquid left behind after sea salt has been collected.
The main chemical formula of Natural Liquid Nigari is MgCl(OH)x, giving it a bitter and astringent taste. It serves as a natural coagulant for making tofu. Natural Liquid Nigari is similar to Japanese Nigari in its liquid form; however, unlike Nigari, which typically consists of 99% MgCl (industrial-grade), Sahu Natural Liquid Nigari retains a variety of natural minerals like those found in natural sea salt.
MgCl Salt is the last crystalline form of salt to precipitate in the salt fields and is highly soluble, even at room temperature. While sea salt naturally contains MgCl, exposure to room temperature causes MgCl to dissolve into water, forming the liquid Nigari. Instead of waiting for this slow process, Natural Liquid Nigari can be efficiently harvested directly from the salt fields after sea salt has crystallized. The remaining liquid is MgCl(OH)x (hydrated MgCl).
You can use Sahu Natural Liquid Nigari with confidence in tofu-making, as it is entirely natural. In addition to magnesium, it also contains other essential minerals such as sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), and potassium (K).
