About Tahu

Tahu, widely known as tofu, is a versatile protein-rich food made from soybeans. Originating from East Asia and a staple in many cuisines such as Chinese, Japanese, and Indonesian cooking, it is crafted through curdling fresh soy milk and pressing the resulting curds into solid blocks. Tahu is low in calories and high in essential nutrients, including iron, calcium, and magnesium, making it a popular choice for a balanced diet. It is an excellent source of plant-based protein, ideal for vegetarians and vegans, and contains beneficial isoflavones, which may support heart health and hormonal balance. However, some processed varieties may have higher sodium or additives, so opting for minimally processed tahu is recommended. Whether grilled, stir-fried, steamed, or blended into dishes, tahu serves as a nutritious and adaptable ingredient for countless recipes worldwide.
