Review of 'Sol Cuisine' Organic Tofu (Firm)

Sol Cuisine -- Organic Tofu (Firm) (vegan, gluten-free)
Overall rating: 4.5/5
Summary: great texture, organic, non-GMO ingredients, and freshness make for a versatile product! We used it in stir-fry and it added a wonderful texture to the rice and veggies. It's perfectly firm and is so easily spiced up with any of your favourite herbs and spices. It's very low-calorie and high-nutrient, so I really prefer buying plain tofu versus processed vegan products (e.g. Tofurky, Gardein). I try to have the latter less regularly mainly because of the high sodium content, calories, sugars, etc.

Where to buy: Fortinos, Loblaw



Ingredients: filtered water, organic Canadian soybeans, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride.

This is a very clean product! The ingredients are great and the profile shows this off: no sugars, low in saturated fat, a good source of healthy fats, and 10g of protein! I'm thrilled with this tofu and will be buying it again.

Check out the tofu recipes offered on the website. Some include: The Ultimate Tom Yum Soup, Tofu Stir-Fry with Robbie’s Pineapple Ginger Zip Sauce, and Immunity Boosting Honey Glazed Tofu with Pumpkin Goji Quinoa. There are many more delicious recipes!
