The raw materials of traditional tofu are soybean, water and coagulant. Traditional production methods mostly use edible gypsum powder, brine, seaweed powder or sweet potato powder as coagulant, and the taste is rough and obvious. Now there are new flocculants, and the taste is more delicate. Generally, homemade tofu mostly uses the extracts of watercress, edible gum and seaweed.
