You campaigned on reducing egg prices, lowering grocery bills, and bringing down gas costs for American families

Now the message is that families should just “observe” soybean prices and gas prices

They’re laying their mess on American families

I didn't realize that a next-edition of the federal Farm Bill is in the works. In the previous go-around, the #fruit and #vegetables sector (largely #California) tried to have a greater say in #agriculture policy. But the big three commodities #corn #soybeans #wheat still dominated. #Forests also feature in the Farm Bill: federal funding to States for cooperative extension, #urban forestry etc.

TechSpot: Tofu brine could power safer batteries that last decades, researchers say. “Researchers from the City University of Hong Kong and Southern University of Science and Technology have built a water-based power cell that runs on tofu brine – the mineral-rich solution left behind after pressing soy curds.”

Some recipes call for using store-bought soy milk (or freshly made soy milk from an Asian market or health food store). I say, if you're going to go through the bother of making your own #Tofu, fresh is best! Start with some good, dried, organic beans! You won't believe the taste difference (nutty and full of flavor). And if your tofu doesn't set, turn it into dessert (for example #TofuChocolateMousse)!

How to Make Tofu
By Ashley Adams

Updated on 07/23/21

"Tofu is beloved by many around the world for its versatility and texture. The soy dish can be made at home using soybeans, a few special items, and a little time.

What You'll Need

Tofu is made up of three ingredients: soybeans, water, and a coagulant—usually nigari (magnesium chloride) or gypsum (calcium sulfate). Soy milk, prepared with soybeans and water, is the precursor to tofu the way milk is the precursor to cheese. A coagulant is added to soy milk to create curds and whey, similar to the way cheese is made.

The only ingredient that will really affect the flavor is the coagulant. Nigari, which has a slightly bitter taste that many people happen to like, is often used to make this recipe. If this is not to your liking, gypsum results in a less bitter taste and creates the same firm, smooth tofu as nigari (and it adds a lot of calcium to your block, too).

Gather these ingredients:

3 cups dried soybeans
1 tablespoon coagulant (gypsum or nigari)
1/2 cup water

And this special equipment:

Blender
Large pot with lid
Cheesecloth
Fine-mesh strainer
Tofu mold (either an actual mold or a homemade rig), lined with several layers of cheesecloth
About 2 1/2 pounds of weights"

So, I've made tofu using a number of coagulants -- epsom salts in water, vinegar, lemon juice (I haven't tried nigari or gypsum). They all can affect the taste and texture of the resulting #Tofu. Read on to learn more!

Which Tofu Coagulant is BEST?

"What Tofu Coagulant should you use for homemade tofu? I put traditional tofu coagulants (gypsum, nigari) to the test against grocery store ingredients (lemon juice, two vinegars, and epsom salts) to see which coagulant makes the best tofu at home! Will they change taste or texture? Read on!"
