Organic tofu - no GMO!

It probably shouldn't go under "organic" but, for what it is worth, Mori-Nu Tofu is made exclusively with non-GMO soybeans.

Mori-Nu, like you, is concerned about the genetic modification of foods. That's why every package of Mori-Nu Tofu is made only with Non GMO soybeans. We bring you the freshest, purest, and safest foods possible and guarantee your complete satisfaction. It's our commitment to you, your health, and the environment.

Now, but what about the pesticides?

For those of you not in the know, Mori-Nu has a patent on aseptic tofu making. The aseptic box, based on a Tetra Pak patent, lets the tofu last for years without refrigeration.

Packaged aseptic soya bean curd containing no bactericidal agents is manufactured by a method which comprises continuously sterilizing a soya bean juice by maintaining it at a temperature of 128 DEG to 150 DEG C for 1 to 6 seconds and cooling to room temperature; homogeneously mixing said sterilized soya bean juice with a sterilized coagulating agent-containing solution in an aseptic atmosphere continuously or in a pipeline; continuously filling the resulting liquid mixture into a container in an aseptic atmosphere and sealing it; and dipping said sealed container into a water tank heated to 70 DEG to 95 DEG C for 20 to 60 minutes in order to coagulate the mixture.

I found it... organic non-GMO Mori-Nu tofu. It costs a fortune though, $2.15 for 12.3 oz.

No, no, no. Don't buy it there. Buy it from Amazon! Remember that there is still shipping. They charge $28.50 for a 24 pack. I think shipping will be about $13.50. So $1.75 per box... not bad. No tax right? Here's the link: Mori-Nu Silken Organic Firm Tofu, 24 pack. And here's a gratuitous image:
