Tofu is a great source of protein. If you’re looking to decrease your meat consumption for environmental or ethical purposes, tofu might be a great substitute for you.
According to Medical News Today, here’s how tofu stacks up against other protein sources:
| Tofu (hard or firm) | Walnuts | Salmon | Chicken (boneless, skinless breast) |
| 122 grams of tofu contains 15.57 grams of protein | 30 grams of walnuts contains 5 grams of protein | 85 grams of salmon contains 18.79 grams of protein | 3.5 oz of chicken contains 31 grams of protein |
| 13% protein | 17% protein | 22% protein | 31% protein |
Heiwa (hay-wa; meaning ‘feast’ in Japanese) Tofu uses soy beans that are organic, non-GMO grown on Maine and New England farms. Soy beans are soaked, crushed and ground into a pulp. It then goes through multiple processes to remove the water, and to be thickened into a soy bean curd (aka tofu!). The curd is pressed into slabs of tofu and then cut into the rectangular blocks that you get in deliveries!
