Tofu belongs to bean products. It is rich in high-quality protein and various trace elements needed by human body. The absorption and digestion rate of tofu by human body is over 95%, and its taste is fresh and tender, so it has always been loved by people. Tofu is rich in nutrition. If properly matched, its nutritional value will be higher. In other words, if it is not properly matched, it will be counterproductive and harmful to our health.
What foods can't be eaten with tofu? 1, in our daily food, there are many ingredients rich in oxalic acid, such as spinach, bamboo shoots, water bamboo, bitter gourd, Pleurotus ostreatus and amaranth. This is because tofu is rich in calcium. When calcium meets oxalic acid, it will produce calcium oxalate, which will affect the absorption of calcium by the human body. Therefore, tofu cannot be eaten with ingredients with high oxalic acid content.
2. Tofu should not be eaten with foods containing more enzymes, such as honey, pineapple, kiwi, honeydew melon and papaya. Because the plant protein and organic acid in tofu will react with enzymes, which is not good for human health.
3. When the protease contained in tofu meets various organic acids contained in brown sugar, protein will denature and precipitate, making it difficult for the human body to absorb, while white sugar will not.
4. Eating tofu and oranges together will be bad for your health.
