Organic Long-Life Tofu with Just-Made Fresh Taste

This month Clearspring is launching the UK’s first Organic long-life nigari Tofu which does not need to be refrigerated. It is made with just three ingredients:

• Whole soya beans that are fully traceable and EU certified
• Spring water from Mount Fuji
• Nigari, a naturally occurring mineral rich coagulant

Made without using any soya protein isolates, artificial water-retaining coagulants, GM soya or preservatives, this unique protein-rich food has the potential to change the way we view tofu in the UK.
Cut it, fry it, mash it, marinate it, boil it, tofu is such a versatile ingredient. From soups to smoothies it can be used in savoury as well as sweet dishes. Try preparing tofu with these delicious recipes.

Organic Fruit Spreads: Reformulated, Repacked and Re-launched

Clearspring’s delicious range of Organic Fruit Spreads has been transformed by replacing the gelling catalyst calcium citrate with sea vegetable powder as a more natural alternative. They have also been given contemporary new packaging, designed to dramatically increase their shelf appeal and convey a clear message of the products’ high quality credentials.

Clearspring Organic Fruit Spreads have a wonderful full-bodied, fresh fruit flavour without any added refined sugar, artificial colours or preservatives. Available in 5 delicious flavours: Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, Cherry and Apricot. Each variety is made using about 50% certified organic fruit.

Delicious spread on bread or toast, as a glaze on cakes or simply as a topping on a bowl of soya yoghurt with muesli.

Organic Wholegrain Rice Cakes with Flavours of the Orient

Clearspring is livening up the humble rice cake by launching a range of Organic Wholegrain Rice Cakes in authentic Japanese flavours: Tamari & Sea Vegetable, Tamari & Black Sesame and Teriyaki. They are made using high quality and award winning Clearspring Japanese seasonings, so you can be sure that they meet the Clearspring brand values and high standards. Ideal for a light lunch or a guilt free snack, they’re delicious on their own or loaded with your favourite topping.

Producer Profile: Organic Tofu

Clearspring Organic Tofu is produced at the foothills of Mount Fuji where our expert producers have been making tofu for nearly 20 years. The factory has access to pure and clear water naturally filtered in the basin of Japan’s highest mountain.

The main raw material, whole soya beans, comes from specially contracted organic farms in Japan and North America to ensure that they are properly certified and GM free.

We are proud of the fact that the factory has implemented multiple processes to make it more sustainable, including filtering all their waste water and re-using the leftover soya mass as animal feed.

January Focus on Healthy Eating

After the excesses of the festive period, many people are keen to start the New Year on a healthy eating programme. Clearspring has a range of products which will help you on this path. From delicious winter warmers such as Miso Soup and Ramen Noodles, to refreshing Green Teas and Fruit Purees that contribute to your 5-a-day.
