Eric S 2011-05-30T20:23:07Z 2012-10-09T23:14:31Z <p>I know that, in general, soy is pretty nasty stuff. I wonder, though, about tofu. I heard somewhere that since tofu is fermented, the typical caveats and criticisms that apply to soy don't apply. But I also heard someone claim that modern soy fermentation techniques complicate the issue. I haven't been able to find a clear statement on this issue. Any paleohackers out there know something about this?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/41201/is-modern-tofu-sufficiently-fermented/41204#41204 Answer by paleonyc for Is modern tofu sufficiently fermented? paleonyc 2011-05-30T20:25:51Z 2011-05-30T20:25:51Z <p>tofu is not fermented. fermented soy product --> tempeh.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/41201/is-modern-tofu-sufficiently-fermented/41220#41220 Answer by Thomas Seay for Is modern tofu sufficiently fermented? Thomas Seay 2011-05-30T21:43:38Z 2011-05-30T21:43:38Z <p>You can get fermented tofu, if you buy it from a Chinese grocery store. Ask for Dofu lu. It's usually used on rice and vegetables. Otherwise, Tofu is not fermented.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/41201/is-modern-tofu-sufficiently-fermented/41223#41223 Answer by oak0y for Is modern tofu sufficiently fermented? oak0y 2011-05-30T22:12:45Z 2011-05-30T22:12:45Z <p>Is all tofu fermented? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Xerlt6kLQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Xerlt6kLQ</a></p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/41201/is-modern-tofu-sufficiently-fermented/73480#73480 Answer by blueballoon for Is modern tofu sufficiently fermented? blueballoon 2011-10-29T13:33:06Z 2011-10-29T13:33:06Z <p>I've made tofu in the past (my vegan days), and I can assure you most tofu is not fermented. You make soy milk out of dried, soaked soy beans and add a coagulant, then press it into shape (like you would a fresh cheese). </p> <p>Tempeh, miso, and tamari are fermented. (I have not tried, and will never try, natto, but those others are pretty good in my past experience.) </p>
