The Complete Protein Revolution
Discover why tofu stands as nature’s complete plant-based protein source. Our premium tofu delivers exceptional nutritional benefits of soybeans which are backed by decades of scientific research and centuries of traditional wisdom.
Supports A Happy Heart
Tofu is a nutritious food packed with heart-friendly nutrients such as soy protein and unsaturated fats, including omega-3 fats that are known to support heart health. Studies have shown that soy protein can help to reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. The American Heart Association also recommends plant protein such as tofu as part of a heart-healthy eating pattern. A study published in the journal Circulation found that eating at least one serving of tofu a week was linked to an 18% lower risk of heart disease compared to those who rarely ate tofu.1 Adding tofu to your meals is a delicious and simple way to support your heart.

Health Benefits of Tofu
Complete Amino Acid Profile
Tofu is good source of high-quality protein with complete amino acid profile – it contains all 9 essential amino acids that cannot be synthesised by the human body, that’s why it can achieve the highest Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acids Score (PDCAAS) of 1.0 – the same score as animal proteins such as egg and meat. Adding tofu to your meals can help to boost your intake of protein that can help to support important body functions such as muscle growth and tissue repair.
Good for You
Soy foods such as tofu are packed with plant-based goodness, such as plant-based protein, dietary fiber, healthy unsaturated fats, minerals, alongside beneficial isoflavones that are good for our health. For example, the calcium and isoflavones in soy can help to build strong bones. Tofu is generally free of gluten and lactose, with high protein and lower carb content which makes it suitable a wide range of dietary needs such as gluten-free or high protein diet. Studies have shown that a higher intakes of soy foods is linked to lower risks of heart disease, breast cancer and postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Is soy protein truly complete?
Yes! Soybeans are one of the few plant-based sources of complete protein, which means they contain all nine essential amino acids that cannot be synthesised by the body which must be obtained through diet. Soy protein achieves a PDCAAS score of 1.0, which is the highest score for PDCAAS protein quality standard, its protein quality is comparable to that of animal proteins.
