Nasoya Tofu - Vitasoy USA

Nasoya has really come into its own as an innovative leader producing foods that are healthy for both people and the planet.

Every soybean that goes into Nasoya’s organic tofu line is grown, harvested and processed in a way that has less impact on the environment than raising cattle or other animals for protein.

Nasoya’s organic soy growers use conservation practices that improve water quality, reduce soil erosion, enhance soil quality, increase wildlife habitat and, most importantly, reduce greenhouse gas production.

Keeping soy in a farmer’s crop rotation ensures the fertility of the soil. When you plant soy, it provides the nitrogen the soil needs to produce future crops.

According to the company, "when you eat Nasoya organic tofu instead of meat, you are consuming only four percent as much energy, and producing only four percent as much carbon dioxide as a person who sourced their protein from beef. Since carbon dioxide emissions directly contribute to climate change, soy’s comparative energy efficiency makes it the “earth friendly” choice."

Vitasoy USA’s (makers of Nasoya) environmental initiatives include the recycling of approximately 80 tons of corrugated cardboard per year. It also pre-treats more than 34.6 million gallons of waste water annually. In addition, more than 3.4 million pounds of the company’s unused soy, called “okara”, is reused as animal feed by local farmers every year.

Nasoya: Lean and Green!

On the human health front, Nasoya’s top-selling organic tofu line is helping America make progress against obesity, heart disease, bone loss, and other serious diet-related illnesses. Soy is a complete protein that contains all nine of the essential amino acids your body needs for health. Soy protein contains no cholesterol and is low in saturated fat and sodium. It also provides the important omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids.

Studies show that incorporating plant-based tofu into the diet may also improve blood pressure and other coronary heart disease risk factors
