What is tofu?

Tofu is a food made from soybeans that has been popular in Asian cuisine for centuries. It is made by curdling soy milk and then pressing the curds into solid blocks. Tofu is high in protein and low in calories, making it a popular choice for those looking for a healthy alternative to meat.

There are different types of tofu, depending on how much water has been pressed out of it. Firm tofu has been pressed of more water and is therefore denser, while soft tofu has been pressed of less water and is therefore more delicate. Silken tofu lies somewhere in between, making it a versatile ingredient that can be used in everything from soups to desserts.
