Though they only recently became a dietary staple, food cubes have been in existence for nearly three millennia. Invented by an unknown Chinese cook, they were originally called tofu but over time became known as tofu cubes, ‘fu cubes and finally food cubes. Made from curdled bean paste which has been injected with a vitamin solution, food cubes became a necessary dietary supplement when most solid foods were banned in 2275. Coupled with the liquids available from a DrinkPod Basic, no human need ever be undernourished again.

Food cubes are available in nine popular flavors – chocolate, butterscotch, peanut, almond, coconut, salamaroni (with or without chongo), all dressed and musk – and one not-so-popular flavor – plain.
