So is it a vegetable!? and if I eat a boca burger, does that mean Ive had a serving of vegetables!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Tofu is not a vegetable!. It is made from soy milk, and as someone else said, is more a protein than anything!. Your relatives should not consider tofu as part of their vegetable intake for their daily allowance!. This would be like a non-vegan claiming that milk is a substitute for meat because it comes from an animal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tofu is not a vegetable!. You don't see tofu growing out in the fields anywhere!. Soybeans are a vegetable and tofu is a byproduct of soybeans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
