Curious where tofu would be at on this chart.
Pricing and product availability is regional and variable, but some napkin math using my local Walmarts pricing puts it at:
That puts it in the green veggie cluster if I'm not getting the axes confused.
Is that extra soft tofu? It usually has more protein than that. A pack of extra-soft I have is 8g / 100g, and some other varieties seem to be 10-15 from online sources.
I used a firm tofu, purely because the only other option was over four times the price and the chart specified they used the cheapest price/weight possible. The soft tofu does have about 30% more protein per serving for the same weight, but the price would likely make it an outlier.
