Tofu skin, also known as yuba, is a versatile, nutrient-rich food derived from soybeans. It is created during the boiling process of soy milk when a thin, elastic layer forms on the surface and is carefully lifted off. Originating from Chinese cuisine, tofu skin is also popular in Japanese and Korean dishes, often used in soups, stir-fries, wraps, or as a vegetarian protein substitute. Rich in plant-based protein, tofu skin provides essential amino acids and is a good source of iron, calcium, and magnesium. Its high protein content makes it an excellent choice for muscle repair and growth, while the presence of healthy unsaturated fats supports heart health. However, tofu skin can be high in sodium if processed or pre-seasoned, so consuming it in moderation or preparing it fresh is recommended. Low in carbohydrates, it's also fitting for various dietary lifestyles, including vegan and gluten-free diets.
