About Chickpea tofu
Chickpea tofu is a protein-rich alternative to traditional tofu made from chickpea flour instead of soybeans. Originating in Burmese cuisine, it's known for its creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor. This plant-based option is made by cooking chickpea flour with water to create a firm, sliceable block. Chickpea tofu is naturally gluten-free and packed with essential nutrients like folate, iron, and fiber, which support digestion and heart health. Unlike soy tofu, it’s also free of phytoestrogens, making it appealing to those seeking hormone-neutral options. Its lower fat content and high protein levels make it a filling choice for vegan and vegetarian diets. While chickpea tofu is generally considered healthy, it’s important to watch for added salts or oils in processed varieties. Perfect for salads, stir-fries, or soups, it’s a versatile and nutritious addition to meals across global cuisines.
