Tofu or Soybean Curd

By Hklbrries

Tofu is made from soybeans similiar to the way cheese is made from milk. It is high in protein and contains no cholesterol. It is available in soft or firm forms. Tofu has no flavor of its own but takes on that of other ingredients. It is packaged in a variety of formats at natural food stores, and firm and soft silken tofu is available at most major markets. The silken type blends well and is perfect for smoothies and desserts.
