Description

Slaked Lime or Dead Lime

Toufood Calx 400g, also known as calcium hydroxide, is an essential ingredient for chefs and culinary enthusiasts looking to master advanced cooking techniques. It’s a mineral extracted from limestone rocks that provides an alkaline pH suitable for cooking firm pieces of vegetables.

  • When vegetables and fruit come into contact with Calx, a second skin is created as a result of an alkalinisation reaction of the fruit or vegetable’s own pectin. Once this layer is created, if cooked, baked or boiled, the inside cooks in its own juices, creating an incredibly delicate texture.
  • The peel can be soft, dry or rough, depending on how the vegetables are cooked. Mix 20 gr. of product with 1 liter of mineral water and immerse the vegetable in the mixture.
  • Toufood Calx can be used for Nixtamalisation processes enhancing the texture and flavour of maize, making it essential for creating authentic tortillas, tamales, and hominy.
  • Non-edible product.
  • Size: 400g
