    Chapter 1: All About Tofu

    The Chinese Origins of Tofu and Its Mysterious Nature

    Tofu is as Chinese as Chinese New Year. Meaning it is very Chinese.

    What we know, for a fact, is that Tofu originated in China.

    Tofu is savored all over China and also many parts of South East Asia.

    Tofu production is extremely ancient and was very popular in China during the early dynasties. But we DO NOT know its EXACT origins.

    There are many folktales about the origin of Tofu production but none have been proven.

    Sadly tofu is like many other culinary classics like cheese and butter. Staple foods we take for granted, but do not know their origins.

    So when you eat tofu, or you eat cheese, or use some butter, remember the following fact:

    To this day, we have no real historical understanding of their exact origins or who came up with their production techniques!

    Overall, tofu is one of the most versatile non-meat protein sources in the grocery store.

    It is also one of the most nutritious low calorie options for anyone who cares about making every calorie of their food count.

    A Nutritional Powerhouse

    Tofu has 8 essential amino acids and a ton of protein.

    In fact, according to the FDA 25 grams of tofu, daily, can possibly lower your risk for heart disease.

    Tofu also contains absolutely no cholesterol!

    Again, tofu contains absolutely no cholesterol.

    There aren’t many foods which have no cholesterol, but tofu is one.

    Therefore, if you happen to have high cholesterol consider replacing the meat in some of your meals with tofu.

    One serving of tofu is about half of a cup or 4.5 ounces.

    Eating this exact amount of tofu will provide: 20% of your daily protein needs, 43% of your calcium needs, and 36% of the iron your body needs each day.

    Can you see why tofu is one of healthiest foods you can consume? It contains no cholesterol, hardly any fat, and very minimal calories. Yet it still delivers the nutrients!

    Keeping Your Tofu As Fresh As Possible

    Tofu will last about 2 to 3 months if frozen.

    If you open the package and expose the tofu to air it, will last only for a day or so if you do not change the water.

    If you change the water surrounding the tofu daily, it will last for 3 to 4 days, while refrigerated.

    It is very important to note this fact:

    Do not let your uncooked tofu sit exposed to air. Always refrigerate it. If you buy large amounts of tofu, keep them frozen in the freezer.

    Frozen tofu is good for up to 3 months (which is a long time).

    Once you open a pack of tofu and thaw it be ready to cook it within a few hours!

    Soft and Firm. What This Means, and Why it Matters

    When buying tofu there will almost always be two choices: soft and firm.

    The difference
