tofu raw?/NOT

No! Tofu is not raw ever because it has been put through a boiling process.

GOOD Raw live SOY comes in 3 forms, all the rest including fermented soy

sauce [salty] is suspect.

The Three good forms of soy are:

Miso. Tempe and Sprouted soy beans.

 

Sprouts can be nibbled at raw or tossed into a salad.

Miso* can be dissolved in cold water if you shake it lots or even run it

through a blender for a few moments. As long as you don't cook the miso it

is wonderful base for soups, sauces and gravies and such.

However, I've never found a tasty way to eat tempe, if anyone can suggest

some dishes I like to try some.

*Try this miso soup. One Tablespoonful of miso dissolved in one cup of water

with a finely diced up scallion and a few specks of raw sweet pepper, diced

finely and tossed into the soup. Some shredded sea vegetables or cabbage

leaf adds a nice touch. That's it.
