Pricing and product availability is regional and variable, but some napkin math using my local Walmarts pricing puts it at:

5.33g protein per 100g food
$3.04 for 30g protein

That puts it in the green veggie cluster if I'm not getting the axes confused.

c/theydidthemath?

Thanks so much, that's very helpful and actually a little disappointing.

No problem! Turns out my Walmart only sells a single package type of tofu so take it with a grain of salt. It's still a cheap and good protein source, but not as dense as an animal or legume protein source.

Take it with way more than a grain of salt

add some nutritional yeast and MSG, anything to give that tofu flavor!
