And with 350g of firm tofu as the base, you’ll get a satisfying dose of plant-based protein in every bite.
Whether you’re cutting back on inflammation, seeking an anti-inflammatory snack, or simply searching for a healthy spread that fits a vegan, gluten-free, or nightshade-free lifestyle, this herbed tofu dip checks every box.
Tofu is a fantastic source of plant-based protein and calcium.
