About Bean curd
Bean curd, commonly known as tofu, is a versatile food made from soybeans. Originating in ancient China, tofu is a staple in East Asian cuisines and has gained global popularity for its adaptability in recipes ranging from soups and stir-fries to desserts. Its mild flavor absorbs seasonings and complements a variety of dishes. Nutritionally, tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein, iron, calcium, and magnesium, making it a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans. It's low in calories and fat, but rich in essential amino acids and antioxidants, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. However, some types, like fried tofu, can be higher in fat and calories. Additionally, individuals sensitive to soy or concerned with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) should choose organic, non-GMO options. Whether firm or soft in texture, tofu is celebrated for its health benefits and culinary versatility.
