Pressed tofu is a versatile plant-based protein made by coagulating soy milk and pressing the curds into firm blocks. Originating from East Asia, tofu has been a staple in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines for centuries. It is low in calories, cholesterol-free, and packed with nutrients like protein, calcium, iron, and magnesium, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. Pressed tofu has a firmer texture compared to regular tofu, making it ideal for grilling, stir-frying, or marinating. It’s naturally low in fat, although preparation methods like deep-frying can add additional calories. Tofu also contains isoflavones, compounds that may support heart health and bone density. While soy is a common allergen, pressed tofu is generally considered a highly nutritious and adaptable option for health-conscious diets and global cooking styles.
