About Tahu bulat
Tahu Bulat, or 'Round Tofu,' originates from Indonesia and is a popular street food, particularly in West Java. It consists of deep-fried spherical tofu balls, made by shaping tofu that has been blended and seasoned. Lightweight and airy due to its preparation method, Tahu Bulat is primarily composed of soybeans, making it a plant-based protein source. Nutritionally, tofu is known for being rich in protein, calcium, and iron, while being low in calories and cholesterol-free. Its composition also includes essential amino acids, making it a valuable addition to a balanced diet. As a fried item, however, its fat content can vary depending on the cooking oil and method used.
