Calcium Chloride

Calcium Chloride is a food‑grade salt used primarily as a firming agent and processing aid in products like canned vegetables, pickles, and tofu; it helps maintain texture and reduce softness during cooking and storage. Nutritionally it contains a very high concentration of calcium — 36000mg per 100g — but it is used in tiny amounts, so it is not a typical dietary calcium source. Because it is a concentrated food additive rather than a food, it should be used only as directed on recipes or product labels and is not intended to be consumed in large quantities.
