A New (Been Around for Centuries) Protein Filled Dish

You may be able to guess the cubed like food at first glance, but I am sure most of the population wouldn't know. A very popular plant-based protein dish known as tofu. Tofu may be one of the healthiest foods out there when it comes to its packed in nutritional content. A single serving size for tofu comes with 3g of fiber and 11g of protein, not to mention the vitamin/mineral content. Considering the protein to calorie ratio this may be a body builders dream food since the fat content in tofu is minimal. This food wouldn't just be a beneficial to a person trying to build and maintain muscle.

Tofu promotes:

• Weight loss

• Lowers cholesterol levels.

• Prevents anemia with the help of iron within tofu.

• Prevents osteoporosis (tofu is rich in calcium)

• Helps manage Diabetes.

• Treats Kidney Disease

• Exhibits Brain health.

• Decreases Hair loss (tofu provides keratin - a type of protein)

Tofu may sound great but remember everything in moderation. Since tofu is a soy product it is made available to the public as GMO. Over the years we see GMO as being bad for our gut health - however, in moderation tofu is just fine.

I cooked my tofu stir-fry style. Mixed with orange, yellow bell peppers and asparagus for an array of colors served over white rice. The sauce I made contained soy sauce, teriyaki sauce and hot and sweet chili sauce. Besides all the numerous health benefits, all this tofu cost a total of $4! A cheap and easy way to make dinner, what else can you ask for? If any questions I am always a message away on here, enjoy one of your new favorite dishes!
