Tofu…often the first thing that comes to the mind of an omnivore when introduced to a vegetarian; as in, “So, do you eat that tofu stuff?  What exactly is that stuff, anyway?”

In this episode, we demystify those little white blocks by providing a short lesson about how tofu is made, the different types of tofu and how they can be used, the nutritional value of tofu, a little tofu controversy, and some of our favorite ways to prepare it.

If you enjoy this episode, be sure to visit our website to read more about tofu in this article: Think You Know Tofu? Think Again!.  You can also find a recipe for Basic Baked Tofu.

KRAMER: (Moving out into the living room) Jerry, why don’t you do a bit on Styrofoam?

JERRY: Like what?

KRAMER: Well, uh.. (Starts to impersonate Jerry’s act) “What is this stuff? Why do we need this stuff?.. And why do they make it so small..?”

JERRY: (Confused) Where’s the punchline?

KRAMER: It’s all attitude.. (Makes a humorous face – mocking Jerry’s)
