Re: OP EXPLAINS

[(Anonymous)]

I still don't get it. How are salts or acids coagulates disturbing?

Re: OP EXPLAINS

[(Anonymous)]

Salts or acids are the alternate coagulants. The original, and still the most-used, coagulant, is GYPSUM. I might as well peel the drywall off of my walls and chew on that. D-:

Which isn't even touching on the note under the wiki on gypsum, and I quote:

"Synthetic gypsum is recovered via flue-gas desulfurization at some coal-fired power plants. It can be used interchangeably with natural gypsum in some applications." D-:

Why... I honestly don't understand why you would find gypsum so disgusting. I mean, it's not great, I guess, and it is used in drywall, but it's more of a "interesting that this thing has multiple uses" thing rather than a OH JESUS NO thing.

Re: OP EXPLAINS

The gypsum/plaster squicks me, I am NGL, but eh, it's a natural mineral, I can deal. The fact that it might be synthetic gypsum, which is a by-product of basically one of the pollutants that is causing climate change? I'm not so chill with that. Not to mention that it's probably highly-processed, and/or toxic?

When tofu is supposed to be an alternative to having to deal with all those things.

Uh. I should say I'm not some crazy, picket-waving vegan or anything. I just can't eat red meat, or very much of it, anymore. So finding alternate protein sources was...interesting...and tofu has always been my go-to.

NAYRT

Have you thought about making your own tofu? There are tutorials and recipes you can use, and it's rather cheap. At least this way you're sure of what you're eating.

Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2UN4KCXIsk

OP

That looks hellishly detailed and time-consuming, and I likely wouldn't be able to get the natural gypsum, so I'd be stuck with the drywall powder...which I'm not a fan of.

Soybeans I *can* source, however, so I might use the first part of this video to make soymilk though.

THANK YOU ANON!

You're welcome! Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Re: OP EXPLAINS

[(Anonymous)]

Well, if it helps anything, it says that synthetic gypsum can be used for SOME of the uses that natural gypsum is used for. I feel like, if there is any use that industrial byproduct artificial gypsum is not going to be acceptable in, culinary use is probably it, you know?

Re: OP EXPLAINS

[(Anonymous)]

This "natural" vs "synthetic" BS is giving me a headache.

Re: OP EXPLAINS

[(Anonymous)]

Well... you can always look for the ingredients list and avoid tofu with gypsum if it squicks you?

Re: OP EXPLAINS

[(Anonymous)]

I have never seen it listed ON the ingredients. Then there's the issue of, is it natural, or chemically-derived, as a petroleum refining by-product? Thus, my problem.

Re: OP EXPLAINS

[(Anonymous)]

I still don't really understand your reaction. If you have a problem with gypsum as a coagulant then just do some research and only buy tofu that uses other forms of coagulants.

Re: OP EXPLAINS

[(Anonymous)]

The other form of coagulant is synthetic gypsum, deriving from burning coal.

Re: OP EXPLAINS

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck you're a dumbass. You know Gypsum isn't exclusive to drywalls right? "Gypsum" is a blanket word there are tons of methods in which it's made and what makes it. The synthetic gypsum you're talking about is not used in tofu.
