Tofu is not cultured, but is precipitated into a curd from soy milk and is a more concentrated protein than other forms of soybean preparations; it can be better digested if eaten with vegetables, or eaten in a soup broth. Soy imparts excellent health benefits due to their isoflavones, which is why you should consider consuming non-GMO, cultured forms of soy (i.e., miso, tempeh, and natto) in moderation." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)
