So, what is tofu?

Tofu, also known as bean curd, is a versatile and nutritious ingredient widely used in vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Made from coagulated soy milk, tofu is a rich source of protein, iron, and calcium. It has a soft, silky texture that can be easily transformed into various forms, from firm blocks to creamy spreads. Tofu's mild flavor allows it to absorb the flavors of other ingredients, making it a popular ingredient in stir-fries, salads, soups, and even desserts. With its health benefits and culinary versatility, tofu is a fantastic addition to any diet.
