This time, tofu. These popular white blocks, sometimes called the "meat of the fields," are high in protein and low in calories, making them a popular diet food. We visit a tofu maker in Tokyo, where tofu competition is fierce, to see how he carefully selects his soybeans, and even take a ride in his tofu-selling truck! We also discover unique tofu dishes, including some from a famed French chef who uses tofu in brand new ways. Join us and learn what makes tofu so great.
