Developed for Tofu Functionality

Tofu quality starts at the seed. At PURIS, we’ve spent over 40 years developing non-GMO food-grade soybean genetics specifically for food applications.

Through our proprietary breeding program, we select and refine soybean varieties based on their performance during tofu production, not just on paper. Every PURIS tofu variety is optimized for protein functionality during coagulation, gel strength and curd formation, consistent yield and water holding, and texture and firmness control across processing conditions.

Our proprietary process includes:

Breeding and genetic selection
In-House Breeding
