Bragg’s Orange Cashew Tofu . . . Santa Barbara Favorite

Since 1912, Santa Barbara’s Bragg has been making wellness easier, smarter, and more accessible for people everywhere. In other words, they believed in healthy living long before it was cool. Rather than chasing trends, Bragg uses real food to deliver time-tested benefits.

If you haven’t tried their Liquid Aminos, you’re in for a real treat. Similar to soy sauce, this all-purpose seasoning is made with zero gluten, GMOs, or artificial coloring. From salads to soups to savory meat dishes, it’s one of our favorite go-tos.

Naturally, Liquid Aminos are a perfect partner for Asian-inspired dishes too. We love this recipe for Orange Cashew Tofu from Bragg — it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare, but it’s guaranteed to impress everyone at your table:
