Among the 31 soy foods in the database, fermented tofu (fuyu) ranks 31st by protein per serving, and 729th out of all 796 foods on the site. Set against meatless deli slices, another soy food entry in the database, a serving carries about 4 g less protein (meatless deli slices has 5 g per 1 slice).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving above is counted by piece at 11 g. Because pieces vary, the per-100 g figure is the one to use when comparing this against a food measured a different way.
