About Tofu
Tofu, also known as bean curd, is a plant-based protein made from soybeans. Originating in China over 2,000 years ago, it is a staple in many East and Southeast Asian cuisines and has gained worldwide popularity for its versatility. Tofu is rich in protein, iron, magnesium, and calcium, making it a nutrient-dense option for vegetarians and vegans. It is low in calories and contains no cholesterol, supporting heart health when included in a balanced diet. Its neutral flavor allows it to adapt to both savory and sweet dishes, including stir-fries, soups, smoothies, and desserts. However, moderation is key, as tofu’s isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen, may not suit everyone in large amounts, especially those with hormone sensitivities. Often described as a “blank canvas,” tofu complements diverse diets and contributes to a healthy lifestyle.
