Tofu Facts

Tofu is a food that is a staple in Asia. It is made from soybean curd, is spongy, and is cheese-like in texture. It has no cholesterol and is also low in saturated fats. It is rich in high quality protein and contains B vitamins and irons. Tofu is bland and has no distinct taste. You can add tofu to a variety of dishes and it takes on the flavor of the spices in that dish. It is especially nice in stir-fry dishes. I have tried it in macaroni and cheese and pizza as well, with very good results. For a newcomer, a good introduction to developing a taste for tofu is to try fried tofu with dipping sauces.
