Myth Busting and Tofu Ambassadorship

At Hodo Soy, we don’t believe that using good beans and crafting good blocks of tofu is enough. We believe that being tofu ambassadors is a large part of our work in the world. We are on a constant mission to demystify tofu through interactions with our community at farmers’ markets and public events. We like to think of our work as including the journey of bean to block and beyond. The ‘beyond’ part is our role as tofu ambassadors.
