About Tofu pieces
Tofu pieces are made from soybean curds, a staple in Asian cuisine with origins in China over 2,000 years ago. Rich in plant-based protein, they are an excellent meat alternative, especially for vegetarians and vegans. Tofu is cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat, making it heart-healthy. It also contains important nutrients like iron, calcium (if fortified), and magnesium. Its mild flavor easily absorbs seasonings, making it versatile in a variety of dishes, from stir-fries to salads. While generally nutritious, it’s essential to consume tofu in moderation due to its phytoestrogens, which may not suit everyone. Opt for minimally processed tofu to maximize health benefits while avoiding high-sodium or heavily flavored varieties.
