Versatile, Easy Tofu Recipes

If you’re looking for a wide array of easy tofu recipes that will please adults and kids alike, you’ve come to the right place! Tofu is a superb food to add to the repertoire of growing children, and pays bountiful dividends in women’s and men’s diets as well. Many nutritionists experts recommend completely eliminating meat and high-fat dairy products as protein sources and getting more from plant-based foods such as grains, legumes, and soyfoods.

Four ounces of tofu, for example, has only about 100 to 120 calories and 5 to 8 grams of fat, but supplies 9 to 10 grams of protein. Tofu made with calcium sulfate provides up to 20% of average daily calcium requirement. It’s high in easily digestible protein, low in fat, and is a good source of iron, and B vitamins.
