Brine is a substance left by evaporation of brine, and its main components include magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride. These ingredients are toxic to some extent, which may be life-threatening if you drink a lot of brine.
In the process of making tofu, the amount of brine added is very small, which will not cause any harm to the body. On the contrary, magnesium ions contained in it can supplement nutrients for the body, so it is beneficial to your health to eat some brine tofu in moderation.
If excessive chemical additives, such as potassium aluminum sulfate, are added to brine, it may cause harm to human health. In addition, if the sanitary conditions of brine are not good, or the brine is not replaced in time, it may lead to the breeding of bacteria and other harmful substances, thus affecting the safety of food.
Therefore, when making brine tofu, it is suggested to choose high-quality ingredients and brine formula, and pay attention to hygiene and quality control to ensure food safety and health.
