I have discovered a new love aside from eggplant that will help me fill myself with protein without the fat – TOFU! Seriously, it is the best meat extender out there. Discovering how it tastes like real meat when cooked like it is like finding the best acne treatment without the pain!

I am sure to include this treasure in my weekly menu from now on. Here are some benefits of it:

Tofu – also known as Soya Bean Curd – has been called the perfect food. It is high in protein, low in saturated fats and a good source of calcium as well as vitamin E. It is also cholesterol free. Let’s find out more about “Ëœthe cheese of Asia.’

Steamed tofu is particularly good for vegetarians. It will give the non-meat eater a plentiful supply of calcium ( which is derived from the calcium sulphate), as well as phosphorous and iron. Tofu is, therefore, an excellent substitute for meat in many vegetarian recipes.
