Celnat Nigari Marine Magnesium Chloride — Occasional Cures and Tofu Preparation

Traditional marine magnesium chloride with Celnat Nigari: 1kg of natural, unrefined magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) crystals, processed in Japan through dissolution, purification, and crystallization. Magnesium content: 2300mg per 20g of Nigari. Dual purpose: food supplement for occasional cures and a natural coagulant for making tofu.

Why is magnesium chloride different from standard magnesium?

Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) is the most rapidly soluble and ionizable form of magnesium in an aqueous environment. It dissociates immediately into Mg²⁺ and Cl⁻ ions in water, providing directly assimilable magnesium ions. Its bioavailability is high, but it is accompanied by a pronounced bitter taste and an osmotic laxative effect at high doses—properties that distinguish it from gentler forms of magnesium (bisglycinate, malate). Nigari is the traditional Japanese form used for centuries as a coagulant for soy tofu: its Mg²⁺ ions cause soy milk proteins to precipitate into a firm and tasty curd.
