Tofu is processed to some extent. I think of processed foods as having varying degrees. Technically, if you puree veggies or simmer them to make broth, you’re processing that food, but I don’t think that’s what we mean when we say processed food, right?<br />Here’s how tofu is made: Tofu, or bean curd, is derived from soya. It is made by curdling fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block and then cooling it – in much the same way that traditional dairy cheese is made by curdling and solidifying milk.<br />What is highly processed are those packaged snack and convenience foods that are made with high fructose corn syrup, salt, and preservatives instead of actual food-based ingredients.<br />Since tofu is made from a type of bean I have a hint for you. Soaking beans allows them to release indigestible sugar. This helps them cook faster and digest easier than unsoaked beans. Soaking water contains elements that you are trying to eliminate, and if consumed, causes a lot of gas. I discard the soaking water or pour it on plants. They like it. I too use vegetable water in soups, stews, etc. I appreciate that we can learn from each other. Warm regards, Nancy A.<br />Nancy A at obloggernewbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155945182527463911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739725637170025668.post-52108642446198983272015-09-27T11:00:03.761-07:002015-09-27T11:00:03.761-07:00I have never learned to like tofu, and because it&...I have never learned to like tofu, and because it's a highly processed food, I tend to avoid it, but as we inch toward an all-plants diet, I keep thinking I need to try more recipes in hopes of finding ways we might enjoy it. This looks like it could be a winner at our house.<br /><br />One of the tofu drawbacks for me has always been that it sits in water. The water, I admit, is a big ick factor, but there's more to it than that. As a young bride, back in the Dark Ages, I learned that soaking vegetables in water to crisp them leached valuable nutrients, so I stopped doing that. I've often wondered how many nutrients we're sliding down the drain when we pour off the tofu water. Could put it in my soup stock bowl, I suppose, but I also wonder how safe it is, and then there's that ick factor. I just want to hold my nose and get rid of it!<br /><br />Anyway, I thank you for providing this information. It impels me to give tofu another try. Your can-over-the-plate trick might work better than my old method, too. I was setting a cast iron skillet on top of a parchment covered brick of tofu. I always had to clear a shelf in my fridge just to drain it!Kathryn Gracehttp://yayyayskitchen.com/noreply@blogger.com
