<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>

Ask for Dofu lu. It's usually used on rice and vegetables. Otherwise, Tofu is not fermented.</p>

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>
