What is tofu made of?
Tofu is made of soy milk that’s pressed into blocks. There are different varieties of softness of tofu like silken, soft and extra-firm. Since it has a spongy texture, it’s great for soaking up flavours and marinades! It’s super healthy too. Tofu is low in calories and high in protein and iron.
