  1. I have just recently switched to a plant-based diet and have love reading your blog–thank you! These recipes look delicious and I can’t wait to try this weekend. As I research more and more, I keep coming across conflicting claims about tofu. Some say it is healthy, others say that any type of processed food should be avoided. In your experience, can tofu be processed, yet still healthy?

  2. Thank you for your feedback. Tofu is a minimally processed soy food linked with health benefits. It is made basically by curdling soy milk. It has been used for hundreds of years in traditional diets in Asia, where they have a lower risk of chronic disease.
