Is SO SOYA+ the same as Tofu?

No. They are both made from soya, and that's where the similarities end. By November 1999, we'd heard lots of consumers assuming that since SO SOYA + was made from soy, that it was tofu. Enough was enough! We launched a SO SOYA+ TASTE TEST. We prepared SO SOYA+ and tofu in exactly the same manner and asked consumers to taste both and fill out ballots giving us their honest opinion. Of the 431 people who participated, over 81% preferred SO SOYA+! Let's discuss the differences. Tofu is made from soya milk. This gives it a wet, spongy texture. Like a wet sponge that can't absorb any more liquid, it is very difficult to get tofu to absorb either liquid or any flavour. What you end up with is a food that is bland, and has a mushy, unfamiliar texture to most North Americans. Let's be honest. If we don't like something, no matter how good it is for us, we're not likely to eat it. Right? Well, this is where SO SOYA+ comes to the rescue! SO SOYA+ is made from fat-free soya flour. That's it. There's nothing else to declare. It's dehydrated and has no flavour added. That's as pure as you can get. As we likened tofu to a wet sponge, let's liken dehydrated SO SOYA+ to a dry sponge. It can easily absorb whatever liquids surround it - right into the center of the meaty morsels. As it absorbs liquid, it also absorbs whatever flavour you give it. The texture of SO SOYA+ is very familiar and meaty. At demonstrations, we're often asked what kind of meat the people are sampling. How's that for convincing? In other words, what you end up with when using SO SOYA+ is a food that has whatever flavor you give it, in a familiar, meaty texture. This doesn't take any getting used to at all! For once, healthy doesn't have to be yucky!
