Tofu, also known as bean curd, is a nutritious soy-based food made by coagulating soy milk and pressing the resulting curds into solid blocks. It is a staple in many Asian cuisines and increasingly popular worldwide due to its versatility and health benefits.
Tofu comes in different textures, ranging from silken to extra-firm, and can be cooked in various ways, absorbing flavors from marinades and sauces.
Rich in protein, iron, calcium, and other essential nutrients, tofu is prized for its contribution to vegetarian and vegan diets. It serves as a versatile ingredient in dishes ranging from stir-fries to salads and desserts.
