Tasty Cooking With Tofu - Dianna Leslie
Introduction
One of the most important components of any vegetarian or vegan diet is tofu. It is a versatile soy dish that can be used for a wide variety of different dishes from eastern style meals to breakfasts, drinks and even for delicious desserts!
Tofu is made from soy and is what is known as a complete food because it contains all of the eight amino acids that are essential for the human body. Tofu is also high in protein, which some vegetarians can find they struggle to get enough of. A single 4oz block of tofu contains around 9g of protein, which is around 18% of your recommended daily intake.
As well as protein, tofu contains a number of other essential vitamins and minerals including:
Copper, Manganese and Copper – these help you to absorb one another and are vital for a healthy body. In a 4oz portion of tofu you get about 11% of your recommended daily value of copper and about 33% of your recommended intake of iron and manganese. Both iron and copper help produce energy, whilst copper and manganese are strong anti-oxidants.
Calcium – good for healthy bones and teeth and 4oz of tofu will give you around 10% of your daily-recommended amount.
Omega 3 – an essential fatty acid usually obtained from fish or eggs but is also found in tofu. A 4oz serving will give you around 14% of your daily requirement of Omega 3. This fatty acid helps to prevent high cholesterol and can help prevent blood clots.
Selenium – usually found in fish or nuts, you get 14% of your recommended daily value in a 4oz portion of tofu. Selenium is another strong anti-oxidant and also helps to regulate your thyroid and protect against cancer.
The benefits of tofu do not stop there as it also contains isoflavones, which can mimic oestrogen and so makes tofu very beneficial to women who are going through the menopause, as it can reduce some of symptoms. These isoflavones have also been linked to reducing the risk of prostate and breast cancer. However, too much tofu and these isoflavones can interfere with the operation of your thyroid. It can also result in reproductive issues in both men and women and the oestrogen mimicry can cause early onset of puberty (though you would need to eat a lot).
The components of tofu also help to lower the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase the levels of good cholesterol (HDL).
At the end of the day, eating too much of anything is bad for you and by introducing tofu into your diet you get a great, healthy meat substitute that makes some delicious meals.
This book has been written to show you some of the delicious, tasty dishes that you can make with tofu. It is so versatile that you can make all sorts of different textured meals with it. Being relatively bland it is an excellent food to take
