True, that one is much less processed. I think I forgot about it because I'm not a huge fan of it...even though I love PB! Weird. I was buying a blend of various plant proteins for a more balanced amino acid profile, but that's true that there are some ones that are a lot less. Haha yeah.
I actually didn't know that about tofu, fun new reading rabbit hole. Oh IDK, I guess it is what circles you're in. A lot of strict carnivores will not eat dairy. If you're just realistic and think about processed food on a spectrum, dairy is obviously much more processed than muscle meat or fruit. Given when humans started consuming non-human milk products & how many have issues with dairy, I think it's fair to say a lot of people are aware it's probably not a natural food that tons of people thrive with. It's just addicting so some people go bananas and can't stop...lol. "But pizza!"
Yeah, depends what we're talking. Sashimi, poke, beef tartare, beef carpaccio...there are some of these, but it's definitely not a huge %. A lot of people like minimally cooked meats (rare steaks). That's more of a conditioned preference than a requirement, though. I guess I am a bit reluctant to consider cooking to be major processing, but on the spectrum it certainly isn't true raw. Definitely agree that "real" processed meats are a big other step down that spectrum, but personally I'd say searing a steak for flavor preference isn't equivalent to having to soak, drain & cook beans to avoid ill effects...not that I consider that particularly processed or problematic either, hah. Just found your comment surprising.
Have you made tofu with other legumes? What's your favorite?
