TOFU ----HEALTHY FOOD AND DELICIOUS TOO by Chacko Nedumkallel

High health potential

Tofu is a food with unbelievably high health potential. If a person takes in 25 grams of soya proteins per day it provides complete cardiovascular health. On an average one serve of Tofu provides 6 grams of soya protein.

Several delicious preparations are made of Tofu. For example freeze it for several days for a chicken-like texture. Afterwards it can be grilled or baked

fit to be served as a delicacy that equals any tasty chicken dish.

Like other wholesome food Tofu too is good in fat calories but at the same time it is a low calorie source of protein .

Heart patients are advised to replace animal protein with plant protein and Tofu is considered in this connection as a good source of it.

Tofu has many food qualities. It is a good source of calcium too. And dietitians say that calcium found in Tofu is equally good in comparison to milk or cheese calcium.

Children love it

All children like Tofu because it does not have a flavour of its own. It takes the flavour of other things added to it while being cooked.

Some people replace eggs in their diet with Tofu. Tofu can be used in so many different types of dishes. People prepare fish-free and meat-free

dishes using Tofu and at the same time they taste like meat and fish. ---
