New Dietary Guidelines for Americans emphasize building meals around real, whole, nutrient-dense foods, and Hodo, a plant-based food company, is positioning its tofu as an affordable way to meet these recommendations. With rising grocery costs stressing the majority of U.S. adults, according to a recent Associated Press poll, Hodo's high-protein, organic tofu offers a budget-friendly protein source.
Hodo founder Minh Tsai notes that whole plant proteins like beans and tofu are an easy, delicious way to eat real foods while supporting long-term health. The company's products, which include marinated and seasoned varieties, are designed to fit into busy lifestyles. Dr. Linda Shiue, a physician and cookbook author, emphasizes that pre-marinated tofu can help patients who struggle to find time for healthy cooking.
Tofu contains all nine essential amino acids and is rich in calcium, magnesium, and iron. Hodo's organic, non-GMO, gluten-free tofu packs over 36 grams of protein per package and can be used in salads, grain bowls, stir-fries, or wraps. The company also offers recipes like Coconut and Curry Soup, Kung Pao Tofu, Spiced Herb Tofu Kebabs, and Spicy Tofu Tacos with Mango Salsa at https://www.hodofoods.com/recipes.
The updated dietary guidance encourages shifting focus from processed foods to whole ingredients, a trend amplified by the rise of GLP-1 medications, which drive interest in protein-rich plant foods. Hodo's products are available nationwide in grocery stores, quick-serve restaurants like Chipotle, and fine dining establishments. For more information, visit www.hodofoods.com.
