Tofu is a food of Chinese origin which can replace common cheese and somehow a healthier option. To make this food, you should clot soybean juice and then press the resulting curd in the form of cubes. There are different varieties of tofu, fresh or processed tofu can be found. This is a food that has very little taste and smell, and can be used in both savory and sweet dishes.

Tofu is a food low in calories, iron, an important mineral for the basic functions of the body, has no cholesterol because it is of plant origin, so it is ideal for preventing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The tofu also contains calcium (the percentage depends on the coagulant that is used in its preparation), essential for the development and maintenance of the skeletal system, and contain magnesium, and especially important for those athletes.

    That mediterranean salad sounds fantastic, and acutally, so do all of the other recipes here. I have tried quite a few of the recipes listed on this website, and they all turn out so much better than I even expect beforehand, so I will definitely keep trying your recommendations. Do you have a chef that writes for you?
