Quick and convenient--I think we are all drawn to quick and convenient meals because we are always on the go! And in comes Nasoya with a grand idea of pre-marinated, cubed tofu! Nasoya sent me the new products in both flavors--Balsamic Vinaigrette and Garlic and Herb.
I absolutely love this idea because these flavorful, cubed pieces of tofu can be dropped into any wrap, salad, pasta, etc. right out of the bag! And the bag is resealable--it's like they thought of everything!
The first flavor I tried was the Balsamic Vinaigrette and I wasn't a huge fan. As someone who mostly has real olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dressing and not the salad dressing with all the fillers, this tasted a bit fake. Thankfully, they use organic tofu, but there are some weird ingredients in this pack like concentrated grape must, caramel color, tapioca starch, and xantham gum. All the other ingredients were pretty natural.
Then, I tried the Garlic & Herb flavor and loved it! They also sent me this amazing bowl with a compartment on top for your salad toppings and dressing, complete with a fork! So, I loaded all my kale, tofu, avocado, and onions into this bowl and took it straight to work. The garlic flavor is strong and delicious. Although caramel color is also in this flavor, everything else is pretty natural: rice vinegar, garlic powder, organic canola oil, salt, onion powder, oregano, basil, and black pepper.
My favorite part about these little cubes of joy are that they are super firm--great texture. There is also 14 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving. Also, they are gluten free, certified organic and Non-GMO Verified.
So, although I didn't like one flavor, I love the other and I think the concept is a great idea! Thanks, Nasoya! You will find this new product in grocery stores like Safeway, Walmart, and HEB.
Full Disclosure: Although the products were provided to me at no cost to review, that in no way influenced my veracious opinion.
