Extra Firm Tofu, a popular plant-based protein, is made from soybeans, water, and a coagulant like calcium sulfate to form its dense texture. Originating from East Asian cuisine, tofu has become a versatile ingredient in dishes worldwide, from stir-fries to salads. Extra Firm Tofu is particularly prized for its ability to hold its shape during cooking, making it ideal for grilling, baking, or frying. Nutritionally, it is packed with high-quality protein, low in calories, cholesterol-free, and contains essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium. It's also rich in isoflavones, which may provide health benefits like hormonal support and antioxidant properties. However, those with soy allergies or concerns about phytoestrogens should consume it in moderation or consult with a healthcare provider. Its mild flavor allows it to absorb seasonings and marinades, making it a versatile and healthy addition to any meal.
