About Fuzhu

Fuzhu, also known as dried bean curd sticks or tofu skin, is a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese and Japanese dishes. Made from the thin layer that forms on the surface of boiled soy milk, Fuzhu is rich in plant-based protein, offering a nutritious alternative to meat and dairy. It contains essential amino acids, calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, making it a beneficial addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, Fuzhu supports heart health and weight management when prepared in healthy recipes. This versatile ingredient is often rehydrated and incorporated into soups, stir-fries, or salads, adding a chewy texture and mild, nutty flavor. While nutrient-dense, commercially processed Fuzhu may contain added sodium, so it’s advisable to check labels and consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
