Tofu curd, often referred to simply as tofu, is a nutrient-rich food made from soybeans. Originating from East Asian cuisine, tofu has been a staple for centuries across cultures like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cooking. The production involves coagulating soy milk and pressing the resulting curds into soft or firm blocks. High in protein, tofu is a versatile meat substitute catering to vegetarian and vegan diets. It is low in saturated fat and contains essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. Tofu is also cholesterol-free and promotes heart health when incorporated into a balanced diet. However, individuals with soy allergies or concerns about phytoestrogens may want to consume it cautiously. Its neutral taste makes it ideal for savory dishes, soups, stir-fries, and even desserts, offering both culinary flexibility and nutritional benefits.
