I bought sprouted tofu yesterday at Whole Foods.

Date: July 12, 2010 11:47PM Never heard of this kind of thing, never had it before. On the package it said something like "try the living difference" but the word 'raw' was not on it. I contacted the company (wild wood foods) and haven't heard from them yet. Does anyone know about how tofu is created? It's sometimes called 'soy cheese, ' which implies fermented and raw. So it's a bit intriguing to imagine that there could be such a thing as sprouted tofu that is raw. It had the texture of fresh tofu that had previously been frozen (little holes throughout). But on the package it said it was easily digested and I found it very good. Re: I bought sprouted tofu yesterday at Whole Foods.

Date: July 13, 2010 12:05AM I've heard of people making raw tofu out of sprouted soybeans. I have to wonder if the fermentation process or whatever is used to curdle the soybean paste gets rid of the toxins/anti-nutrients in soy.  Re: I bought sprouted tofu yesterday at Whole Foods.

Date: July 13, 2010 12:19AM Prana, I hope this company gets back to me so I can report to you guys whether it's truly raw. I know that other fermented soy like tempeh is supposed to be better because the fermentation gets rid of the bad stuff. However, I wasn't aware that tofu was curdled. I thought they coagulated it to make it firm and that they used magnesium chloride, etc. to do so, but I really am pretty much in the dark about the whole thing. Just thought I'd share a potential raw product. I want to get away from soy, actually, but in the meantime it's a nice high protein food source. Oh, and it's organic.

Date: July 13, 2010 12:26AM I was going to say something negative about Soy, but Prana
mentioned Raw Tofu, so it may not be all bad. I remember when Soy became popular. It was like a Craze. I've never tried it.....WY Re: I bought sprouted tofu yesterday at Whole Foods.

I am wondering, though, if sprouting soy makes it a healthier food item. As long as you eat it just occasionally and cut out all the other sources of soy. I eat way too much of the stuff.

Date: July 13, 2010 12:55AM Even is it is raw, it is not going to be such a healthful option. If eating a raw tofu allows someone to move away from meat, then yes, I say go for it. But eating fresh fruits and salads is a healthier and more nutritious option. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
