About Soybean curd

Soybean curd, commonly known as tofu, is a versatile, plant-based protein made by coagulating soy milk and pressing the curds into solid blocks. Originating from China over 2,000 years ago, it is a staple in East Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines but is enjoyed globally for its mild flavor and ability to absorb seasonings. Rich in high-quality protein, iron, and calcium (depending on the production process), tofu is naturally low in calories and saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy choice for vegetarians and omnivores alike. It contains no cholesterol and offers a range of isoflavones, plant-based compounds associated with potential antioxidant and hormone-balancing effects. However, for individuals sensitive to soy or concerned about excessive phytoestrogen intake, moderation is advised. Tofu’s adaptability allows it to be used in savory dishes, desserts, and more, making it a nutritious and multifunctional addition to any meal plan.
