What exactly is tofu?
Tofu is made from soybeans and originated in Asia. Actually, the production process is quite similar to that of cheese from cow’s milk. There are different types of tofu, which are used in different dishes. Silken tofu is used more in the preparation of desserts, firmer types of tofu for savory dishes.
Here are a few more interesting facts about tofu:
- Has a very high protein content (14.7g per 100g)
- Rich in calcium, magnesium, copper and potassium
- Especially rich in iron
- Essential amino acids
- B vitamins
- Easily digestible
Conclusion: There are always voices that claim tofu is unhealthy. Is it true or not? I believe that tofu is very healthy, especially when eaten in moderation. Of course, it doesn’t make sense to go vegan and eat only products made from tofu. It’s best to keep things varied with lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and tofu.
The Scrambled Tofu Italian Style goes very well with homemade spelt bread or combined with a delicious brunch, together with gluten free pancakes , vegan Nutella , coffee, or a Golden Latte with healthy turmeric. As a topping I recommend homemade vegan parmesan .
