About Beancurd
Beancurd, commonly known as tofu, is a versatile food made from soybeans. Originating from East Asian cuisine, it’s a staple in dishes from countries like China, Japan, and Korea. Tofu is created by coagulating soy milk and pressing the curds into solid blocks. Rich in high-quality plant-based protein, it’s an excellent dietary option for vegetarians and vegans. Beancurd is also packed with essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium, alongside beneficial isoflavones, which may support heart health and bone strength. It’s low in calories and cholesterol-free, making it ideal for weight management and heart-friendly diets. However, some processed varieties might contain added preservatives or sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Whether steamed, grilled, fried, or blended into smoothies, beancurd’s mild flavor and adaptability make it a nutritious and delicious part of a balanced diet.
