Seed-Based Tofu Blocks

Foodies' 'Pumfu' is a Soy-Free Tofu Made with Pumpkin Seeds

Although tofu is most often made with soybeans, it can also be made with a number of alternative ingredients—including pumpkin seeds, as Foodies proves with its soy-free tofu called 'Pumfu.' This tofu alternative is prepared with organic pumpkin seeds, making it all-vegan, soy-free, gluten-free and nut-free, as well as packed with a nourishing source of plant-based protein. The soy-free tofu is also a rich source of antioxidants, magnesium, and omega fatty acids, thanks to the makeup of pumpkin seeds.

Like classic soy-based tofu, this product has the potential to be used in both sweet and savory applications. The nutrient-dense Pumfu, which features no added sugar or salt, is comparable to extra firm tofu and is said to be enjoyable for breakfast, lunch and even dessert.
