Organic Tofu Products

What is organic tofu? 

Tofu is one of the most widely used and loved protein alternatives to meat. Tofu is a food produced from condensed soy milk pressed into solid white blocks in a technique similar to creating cheese. It is said to have originated in China more than 2,000 years ago, when a cook discovered the protein alternative when he accidentally mixed a batch of fresh soy milk with nigari. 

Why buy organic tofu? 

Tofu is rich in protein and provides all of your body's required amino acids. It also contains fats, carbohydrates, and numerous vitamins and minerals. Tofu can be prepared on the stove, in a pan with dry seasoning, or marinated and baked. Much like cooking with meats, there are so many possibilities and different tastes available depending on how it’s cooked and seasoned.  

Buy tempeh as another protein alternative 

Tempeh, which has its origins in Indonesian savoury cuisine, has received a positive reception on the Australian market.  

Tempeh is a cake-like product produced from partially fermented and cooked soybeans. This fermentation aids in the breakdown of phytic acid in soybeans, making tempeh's starches more digestible. After fermentation, the soybeans are shaped into a patty or a block that resembles an extremely firm vegetarian burger.  

Tempeh is a vegan's second best option after tofu. This soy-based meat substitute is also healthy. It has a solid texture and a more earthy flavour than tofu and more protein and fibre. 

Doorstep Organic’s wide selection of tempeh is made from soy grown and harvested using environmentally friendly farming methods. We only offer tempeh with organic soybeans that do not contain any artificial chemical footprint. 

The benefit of choosing plant-based products 

There are numerous benefits of embracing a plant-based diet, ranging from their ability to support your immune system to their high fibre content.  

Plants contain critical elements that are unavailable from most other sources. Plants contain vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants that can help keep your body in balance and your cells healthy, helping your immune system to perform at its best.  

Inflammation can be reduced by eating plant-based foods. The same phytochemicals and antioxidants that boost your immune system also neutralise toxins from pollution, processed foods, bacteria, viruses, and other sources throughout your body. 

All unprocessed plant foods include fibre. It's what gives the plant its structure and eating more of it gives you access to a slew of benefits. Eating a plant-based diet can help your gut health, allowing you to absorb more nutrients from the food. Fibre can help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and it's also good for bowel health.  

Switching to alternatives like tempeh and tofu can help you eat a fibre-rich, healthy diet while also positively influencing the environment.
