Tofu – a healthy food making recipe and its video!

Information about Tofu making recipe and its stepwise making video.

Tofu is just like a Paneer (Cheese). The difference is just as Tofu is made from soymilk while Cheese or Paneer is made from Cow/Buffalo milk.  Tofu, which is made from soybean curds, is naturally gluten-free and low calorie; it contains no cholesterol and is an excellent source of protein, iron, and calcium.

To make tofu, soymilk is first coagulated which leads to the creation of curds. The resulting curds are then pressed and compacted into the gelatinous white blocks recognized as tofu.

Ingredients: 1 liter (4 Cups) soy milk, Juice of 2 lemons

Nutritinal Value:
Tofu is a good source of protein and contains all eight essential amino acids. It is also an excellent source of iron and calcium and the minerals manganese, selenium and phosphorous. In addition, tofu is a good source of magnesium, copper, zinc and vitamin B1.

Benefits of Tofu:
It is an important source of protein, especially for vegans, vegetarians, and those looking to move toward a more plant-based diet.

Tofu is an excellent food from a nutritional and health perspective. It is thought to provide the same sort of protection against cancer and heart disease as soya beans.
