It has a soft and smooth texture and a subtle flavor of soybeans, besides it is easy to familiarize with any kind of seasoning. Such tofu, its nutritional values and healthful have received attention, and now it spreads widely not only in Japan but also all over the world as a diet food "TOFU".
Firm tofu has 77 kcal per 100 g and low energy content, but contains abundant high quality protein and such as linoleic acid, lecithin, choline, saponin, isoflavone, trypsin inhibitor, oligosaccharide and calcium.
Just a white square simple food, tofu is "functional food" that balances the human body and saves it from various diseases.
This isn’t all about tofu's success. There is no place to throw away in tofu. Even the “Okara” that is remained after squeezing is full of nutrition. There are not a few companies that tackle the reuse of such “Okara”.
