Stinky tofu is a favorite food of many people. Although it stinks, it tastes good, and some people will indulge in it. Because of this, stinky tofu is particularly popular. Young people, in particular, like to buy stinky tofu when shopping and praise the taste of stinky tofu.

In the process of enjoying delicious food, we can't help asking, why does stinky tofu smell bad, but it tastes so delicious?

First of all, stinky tofu tastes bad because of its special production technology. There are two kinds of stinky tofu. One is stinky tofu milk, which belongs to fermented stinky tofu. The second kind is stinky tofu made of dried stinky tofu.

It's the kind you usually buy in a snack street. This stinky tofu can't be eaten directly. It can only be eaten after frying or charcoal burning. I also often eat in Dongying. It is really delicious.

The famous stinky tofu in Changsha is made of stinky tofu. No matter what kind of stinky tofu, it needs to be fermented and decomposed during the production process.

During fermentation and decomposition, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia are produced. One is the main component of rotten eggs, and the other is the main component of rotten fart. From here, we can know that the smell of stinky tofu comes from this.

Stinky tofu smells bad, but it tastes good. This is because the protein component in stinky tofu will produce grain amino acids in the fermentation process, thus producing delicious food. This smell will make people feel very fragrant.

Another way of saying this is that in the process of evolution, human beings are highly dependent on protein because they want to survive. In the process of obtaining fresh protein, there are sometimes difficulties, so many people turn to corrupt protein, which makes people like the taste.

Today, this imprint remains in human genes, so human beings do not exclude food with a slight smell, and some people even like it very much.

As a slightly smelly food, stinky tofu is naturally favored by people. In addition to stinky tofu, stinky fish, rotten eggs and other stinky foods are also favored by people for the same reason.

Although stinky tofu smells delicious, it does not affect its nutrition. Studies show that every two pieces of stinky tofu contain protein equivalent to one egg, which shows that stinky tofu is not only a simple snack, but also has the function of supplementing nutrition!
