Tofu is a good source of plant-based protein, rich in essential amino acids. It’s also a good source of iron, calcium, and magnesium. Additionally, tofu is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy protein alternative. Some studies suggest it may have potential benefits for bone health and reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases.

You can make various dishes with tofu, such as tofu stir-fry, tofu scramble, tofu curry, or even marinated and grilled tofu. It’s versatile and can be used in both savory and sweet recipes.

My personal extra firm tofu favorite dishes are crispy tofu, coated pan fried or baked tofu or tofu “egg” salad. Throw them on a green salad, bread or wrap or eat them on their own.

Be creative and enjoy the benefits of this wonderful plant protein.
