When you buy tofu from Asian supermarkets, it's usually reasonably priced. It's about double at places like Whole Foods and Citerella, and they don't carry good brands of tofu either. I recommend trying to get to Korea Town Plaza for the Assi Brand Organic Tofu. A 16 oz box is somewhere between $1.49 and $1.99. Fresh tofu, like the ones sold on the corner of Grand Street and Bowery, are still the best, but they only last a few days so I like to keep a few safety boxes in the fridge. The Assi Brand Organic Tofu usually lasts several weeks from the time you bought it. (Expiration date is marked on each box.) Plus, it's organic.



I'm actually really surprised that an Asian company is putting out organic stuff. Taste and cost always seems to come first, above health. I am happy though and will keep buying the organic tofu, hoping that my support will get more Asian companies to produce organic products.

I used it to make some Korean Tofu Soup for lunch today. I ate the whole 16oz box. Yum!
