#1 Tofu in the Nordics
Yipin was founded in 1998 by our food-loving family, with our Chinese great-grandmother’s original tofu recipe. Today, Yipin is the #1 tofu producer in the Nordics and the best-selling tofu and tempeh in Sweden. Our tofu is produced in our own factory in Sweden, combining Asian food culture with Swedish innovation. If our great-grandmother could see us today, we believe that she would be proud.
Yipin means ”Best quality”
Yipin means “best quality” in Chinese, and that is the promise continuously delivered, ever since 1998 when we produced our first tofu in Sweden. As always, our tofu is based on our beloved, authentic family recipe that has lived through three generations – then refined with flavors inspired by the Asian and Nordic cuisine. Our tofu is locally produced in Vallentuna slightly north of Stockholm, with high-quality and sustainable raw ingredients; organic soybeans grown in France and Swedish tap water, known for its top-quality.
Our products
We offer a wide range of tofu – everything from natural tofu to marinated variants, smoked tofu and fried tofu. We also offer tempeh, natural, marinated or smoked – an Indonesian food specialty that is fermented, rich in protein and easy to fry or oven-bake, for example. Choose from a variety of flavours and styles including our unique vegan spreads that are ready-to-serve or to eat in a sandwich or a wrap.

FAQ
Tofu has been around for over 2000 years and is made from three natural ingredients: soybeans, water and mineral salt that is pressed into a solid. However, it is anything but rigid and extremely versatile for fried, marinated or even dessert tofu recipes.
Tempeh is a super versatile product that originates from Indonesia and is a completely plant-based raw material, just like tofu. Tempeh is fermented, which makes it extra rich in nutrients such as protein, iron, fibre, and bacteria that are great for the gut. Our tempeh is made from fermented soybeans and has a nutty taste and chewy texture. It can be prepared many ways, from skewers, salad to frying pan and stir fry.
Yes, our products are 100% vegan.
You can find our products at ICA, Coop, Willys, Hemköp and City Gross around Sweden. If the products are not in the store near you, please ask the store staff to stock our products. Additionally, you can find our products online at Mathem and mat.se and in Finland at Ekolo.
All our products are 100% GMO free and 100% full of love. In addition to that, they are both nut-free and gluten-free. Our natural tofu contains only soybeans, water and mineral salt. Soy sauce may be present in our flavoured products which contains wheat, which is why wheat is declared in the nutrition information, however wheat becomes gluten-free during the production of soy sauce due to fermentation.

All our tofu that you find in the grocery store is made from organic soybeans from sustainable farms in the south of France. Our tempeh is made from sustainable and certified soybeans grown in Canada.
You can indeed freeze tofu. Bear in mind that natural tofu will have a slightly different texture when thawed after freezing because of its chameleon-like ability to absorb its surroundings. Fried tofu or other flavoured products do not change as much, as they contain less water.
