TOFU

Tofu is a bean curd. It is made by grinding up soybeans and allowingthem to coagulate. It is then pressed to remove moisture and cut into squares.The end product looks like small blocks of semi-soft white cheese. Accordingto some nutritionists tofu is the perfect food. It is very high in proteinand is often used as a meat substitute by vegetarians. Tofu is semi-perishable;store it in the refrigerator as you would cheese.
