Tofu, what it is and why to consume it

  Tofu, of Eastern origin, is also known as soybean cheese. It is recognized as a plant-based protein derived from soy, whose manufacturing process is similar to that of cheese. In Japanese cuisine, it is an essential food, as it provides a significant amount of protein and can be used in a wide variety of dishes. So much so that there is an endless list of Asian dishes whose main or secondary component is tofu. It is widely used by vegetarians to add protein to their diet. The difference it has with meat is that it does not contain the toxins inherent in it and is precisely the healthiest and most natural substitute. Proteins, amino acids, potassium, iron, and high calcium content are other advantages offered by tofu. Its caloric content is low, making it an appropriate food in weight loss diets, as well as being much more digestible, mild, and cholesterol-free. A food that if you haven't tried, you might be hesitant to do so, but we invite you to give it a try. Recommended recipes with tofu: - Tofu Salad with Carrot - Hot and Sour Chinese Soup - Curry Shrimp
