About Tofu and bean curd
Tofu, also known as bean curd, is a versatile food made from soybeans. Originating in China over two thousand years ago, it has become a staple in East Asian, Southeast Asian, and vegetarian cuisines worldwide. Tofu is created by curdling fresh soy milk and pressing it into solid blocks, which vary from soft to extra firm in texture. Rich in plant-based protein, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium and iron, tofu serves as an excellent dietary option for vegetarians and vegans. It is low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free, promoting heart health. Fermented variants, like stinky tofu or tempeh, offer additional probiotic benefits. However, processed tofu dishes may contain high sodium or unhealthy fats depending on preparation. Tofu’s ability to absorb flavors makes it suitable for both savory and sweet dishes, contributing to its global popularity as a nutritious and adaptable ingredient.
