Tofu
Tofu is a versatile plant-based protein made by coagulating soy milk and pressing it into blocks, originating from East Asian culinary traditions. It comes in multiple textures ranging from silken (ideal for blending) to extra-firm (suited for grilling), with a neutral flavor that readily absorbs seasonings. This soy product provides all essential amino acids while being naturally gluten-free and low in calories, with calcium-enriched varieties offering significant mineral content valuable in dairy-free diets.
