Rhizopus is a part of the slime mold family. The soybeans are innoculated with the mold, and then pressed. The mold grows between the beans and the whole thing forms into flat cakes. I know it sounds gross, but it's quite tasty, if not over-"grown", and it's extremely nutritious, especially for vegans who have no natural source of B12. It's not really any more disgusting than eating old, curdled milk (cheese) or drinking very old barley and hops that have a yeast infection!!
Could we have gotten any more off topic?
