Tofu is a food made from soybeans, water, and a coagulant, that is pressed into solid white blocks in a process that is quite similar to cheesemaking.
Depending on the water content pressed out of the tofu, it can vary in softness - ranging from silken, soft, firm, or to extra firm.
It is absolutely nutritious
Several studies have been done to look at tofu�s effects on heart health and a clinical trial conducted by the University of Oran in Algeria found that a high intake of legumes, including soy, is linked to lower rates of heart disease. A study by St Michael's Hospital in Canada also found that taking 50 grams of soy protein per day is also associated with improved blood fats and an estimated 10% lower risk of heart disease.
It fights obesity and helps weight loss
So now that you know why tofu is such a superfood, what are you waiting for? Given its neutral taste and range of consistency, tofu is versatile thus making it great for any meal. Firm tofu is great for baking, grilling or even a tasty stir fry while the softer ones are perfect for sauces, desserts, salads and soups. Enjoy!
