Tofu is a plant-based protein derived from soybeans, rich in high-quality protein, calcium, iron, and isoflavones. It supports muscle growth, bone health, heart health, and hormonal balance. Tofu is versatile, absorbing flavors from spices, sauces, and marinades, making it suitable for stir-fries, grilling, soups, and salads. Its low-calorie, nutrient-dense profile makes it ideal for plant-based diets. Regular consumption can improve protein intake while providing phytonutrients that support overall wellness and cardiovascular health.
