Tofu

Tofu is a food made from soybeans, often used as a meat substitute in vegetarian and vegan diets. It is produced by curdling soy milk and pressing the resulting curds into solid blocks. Tofu is rich in protein, low in calories, and contains essential nutrients like calcium and iron. It has a subtle flavor, making it versatile for various dishes, from stir-fries to soups. Tofu can vary in texture, ranging from soft and silken to firm, allowing it to absorb flavors and adapt to different cooking methods.
