About Bean curds
Bean curds, commonly known as tofu, are a versatile food made from coagulated soy milk, compressed into soft white blocks. Originating from China over 2,000 years ago, tofu is now a staple in many Asian cuisines and celebrated worldwide for its adaptability. Rich in plant-based protein, it is an excellent option for vegetarians and vegans, providing essential amino acids. Tofu is also low in calories and contains beneficial nutrients such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. It’s naturally cholesterol-free, making it heart-healthy, but its health benefits can depend on preparation methods—fried tofu, for instance, increases fat content. Additionally, soy contains isoflavones, which may support bone health and hormonal balance, though some individuals prefer to moderate soy intake due to concerns about its effect on hormone levels. Available in varying textures from silken to firm, bean curds provide a nutrient-rich foundation for savory or sweet dishes across many culinary traditions.
