Cauldron Organic Tofu

Tofu is a protein-rich food made from the 'milk' (ie white liquid) that can be squeezed out of crushed, cooked soy beans. It's to soy milk what dairy cheese is to....regular milk. Tofu comes in semi-solid, smooth white slabs and tastes of nothing at all. Health-nuts and vegetarians love the stuff, partly because of its high protein content (it's said to be particularly good for ladies, because of the are oestrogen-like chemical compounds that are found in legumes in general, and particulalry in soy beans. If you're a tofu-eating bloke, I'm not sure these particular 'health benefits' really apply; oestrogen-like chemicals have had a lot of bad press, ...  Read the complete review

Okay, well, tofu. Somehow the notion of trying it came upon me and so I set out to realise it. I expected an overwhelming array of choice to meet me upon entering my search of 'tofu' into supermarket search engines, but such was not the case. There was very little to choose from as far as brands go; at the most two, and at the least? One: Cauldron. It's probably clear, then, that I can't do much of a comparative review here due to a sincere lack of competition and my own unfamiliarity with the product at hand. Cauldron did offer a few other varieties of tofu though, in certain stores such as Sainsburys, and I must say these are significantly more expensive. ...  Read the complete review

Having just returned from a wonderful trip to Thailand with my veggie husband, tofu is now a product I am vastly more familiar with than I was a couple of weeks ago. I eat a lot of meat free products anyway and so the pair of us encountered tofu quite frequently during our trip. We found, much to our surprise, that we really enjoyed it - we were under the impression it was a very bland and unappetizing foodstuff, however, it would seem we had just been cooking it the wrong way all along! On our return I looked in my local ASDA for some tofu and this was the only variety that they stocked. A 250g packet is currently on special offer in my local store ...  Read the complete review

I am sure Tofu is a bit of a mystery to some people, especially those of you who are meat eaters. Hopefully, this review will dispel a few mysteries and maybe temp you to try it. If there are any vegetarians out there who don't have it as a staple food in their fridge, you really are missing out. Cauldron make a fantastic range of vegetarian products, and their tofu is no exception. Tofu varies in texture depending on what you buy, and this particular tofu has a nice firm texture which makes it easy to use. I've tried lots of different types and brands over thee years, and this is my favourite. A 250g pack costs £1.09 in Morrison's and is similar elsewhere. ...  Read the complete review

Tofu - this is a vegan staple always in my fridge. You can get tofu in different forms - and they are all quite different: Plain - good for putting in flavoursome things as it absorbs flavour. Smoked tofu - very tasty - I could eat this from the packet Silken tofu - splodgy custardy sort - excellent for vegan quiches and cheesecakes It is what they called at school 'a first class protein' . Now, I think this means all amino acids are present. It is, fair to say a high protein food. I don't like to get too hung up on protein because the fact is that most people eat too ...  Read the complete review
