Mori-Nu introduces seasoned tofu in two varieties
Morinaga Nutritional Foods Inc. in Torrance, CA, a leader in the soyfoods industry and maker of shelf-stable Mori-Nu Silken Tofu, has introduced new seasoned tofu to take the guesswork out of preparing the low-fat, protein-rich food. Morinaga is introducing Mori-Nu seasoned tofu in two varieties: Chinese spice and Japanese Miso.
Morinaga is introducing seasoned tofu in response to the increasing number of consumers looking for quick, healthy protein options. Many are uncertain how to prepare traditional white tofu, while others are short on time. In addition, like all Mori-Nu tofu, the new Mori-Nu seasoned tofu has the convenient shelf-stable packaging that makes it possible to store in the cupboard or pantry for last-minute meals.
Mori-Nu seasoned tofu is not made via the same method as other flavored tofu products, which are traditionally covered in sauces or marinades. Instead, the flavorful ingredients are blended throughout the entire block of tofu, providing consistent seasoning in every bite. It can be eaten directly from the package or heated by saut?ing, baking or grilling. "Mori-Nu seasoned tofu answers the age-old question of what to do with tofu," said Susan Bucher, sales and marketing director at Morinaga Nutritional Foods. It can be eaten alone right from the package, served cold on salads, saut?ed or grilled for quick, meat-free entrees.
Each serving of Mori-Nu seasoned tofu not only satisfies the needs of the recipe- or time-challenged consumer, but also helps build healthier diets. A three-ounce serving provides at least 6.25 grams of heart-healthy soy protein. It is also low in fat and contains no cholesterol, no saturated fat, no trans fat and no MSG. And both varieties are made with organic soybeans.
According to the Food & Drug Administration, 25 grams of soy protein a day, when consumed as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of Mori-Nu Chinese spice seasoned tofu contains 6.25 grams of soy protein; one serving of Mori-Nu Japanese Miso seasoned tofu contains seven grams of soy protein.
The complete line of Mori-Nu tofu is made only with non-genetically modified soybeans. The nine varieties are Chinese spice; Japanese Miso; enriched; original soft, firm, extra firm; lite firm and lite extra firm; and organic firm.
All Mori-Nu brand products are Kosher certified and preservative-free. The product line is increasingly popular with the growing segment of consumers searching for nutritious dairy and meat alternatives. The company also makes Mori-Nu mates pudding and pie mix in chocolate, lemon creme and vanilla flavors, which are designed to be blended with Mori-Nu silken tofu for tasty, low-fat, non-dairy, cholesterol-free desserts.
