Soya tofu, commonly known as bean curd, is a versatile plant-based protein made from coagulated soybean milk. Originating in East Asia over 2,000 years ago, tofu is a staple in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian cuisines, often used in soups, stir-fries, and salads. It's rich in high-quality protein, calcium, iron, and magnesium while being naturally low in calories and cholesterol-free. Tofu is an excellent choice for vegetarians, vegans, and those seeking heart-healthy meal options. It contains isoflavones, which may support bone health and provide antioxidant benefits. However, as a processed food, tofu may include added salt or preservatives depending on the brand, and its high isoflavone content might not be ideal for individuals with certain hormonal sensitivities. Its mild flavor and adaptability make it a nutritious addition to a balanced diet when consumed in moderation.
