Nutrition
This plant-based chipotle sauce gets its protein primarily from silken tofu, which is a complete protein source on a vegan diet.
In addition to protein, depending on your tofu, you can also get around 11.6 % (~150 mg) of your daily value for calcium in one serving. This is brand dependent because various brands use different amounts of calcium sulfate and/or magnesium chloride when making tofu.
