One with a panda (made by house foods out of Calif) on it.. and another that doesn't- their house brand. The panda one had organic and non-organic. So immediately I slimmed down the choices. The house brand is organic too. So.. i asked someone who works there.. they said the Panda one goes off the shelf a lot more quickly than the house brand. So i wound up choosing a couple of the Panda Organic Tofu. So now i am asking.. cause i like to freeze my firm tofu, then let it defrost & press out the water. Some brands are better for that than others.. also some taste better.. When in Texas what brand of tofu should i look for? Anyone have suggestions? BTW i almost fell over at the cash register... it was $1.11 for the pkg.. I usually spend about 3.00 in ny

As for best brands in TX to freeze, unless someone here has first hand experience, you may be the first person to do this experiment. Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

Normal grocery stores would charge $2.50-$4 for a tub of tofu. If you can find Nasoya Light Extra Firm, that's my absolute favorite, but it's not always around. The other Nasoya varieties are also good. It's probably my favorite brand across the board. The panda tofu you mentioned from Sprouts isn't one I care for much, but it's not terrible – and you can't beat the price! There's another common one – Azumaya (sp?) that I've seen around and purchased once or twice. Nothing standout here, but nothing bad, either. Hope that helps. Where are you in Tx? Molly Horn

Molly, I found the brand you mentioned above, in a health food store, but they didn't have it in the "Light." I was wondering what types of dishes you make with it. Dee

In fact it was a little firmer than the national brand that molly mentioned. i am back home now and missing texas...

Didn't reply to your tofu inquiry because I don't have a favorite brand. I still haven't mastered cooking tofu so don't do it often. Deborah
