What are the benefits of eating tofu every day? Thank you for your questions.
Tofu is a frequent visitor to the family table. Especially for those children and the elderly, the soft and smooth taste of tofu is really unforgettable. Another reason that makes it attractive is its nutritional value-the nutritional feature of bean products is 1. The content of protein is higher, and its quality is better than that of protein in grain and close to that of protein in meat. The protein content of soybean is about 40% (lean pork content 16.4%, egg content 14.7%). The amino acid composition of bean protein is close to human needs, and the composition ratio is similar to that of animal protein. Lysine, which is relatively deficient in cereals, is high in beans and should be eaten with cereals to improve the physiological value of protein in diet. 2. The fat content is relatively high, reaching 15%-20%, among which soybeans and black beans have the highest content and are often used as raw materials for edible oil. Soybean oil is one of the most commonly used edible oils. 3. Zero cholesterol. Soybean is a plant, so it contains no cholesterol. In protein, there is only one kind of food with high content, good value and little or no cholesterol. This is one of the reasons why soy protein is more beneficial to health than meat protein. 4. Rich in calcium, coupled with the coagulant added in processing, the calcium content of bean products is very prominent. The calcium content of 250g tofu is equivalent to that of 250ml milk. If milk and dairy products are the first choice for calcium supplementation, then bean products are undoubtedly the second. It contains B vitamins, especially vitamin B2. 6. Rich in phosphorus, sodium and potassium, it is a good source of minerals. Here are three ways to make tofu, so try it.
