One of the biggest challenges vegetarians face on their health journey is getting natural and good protein sources. Most vegetarian protein sources are higher in carbohydrates or fats and relatively low in proteins. Or some are ultra-processed and undo whatever little benefits they may offer.
Tofu is the answer to these problems and more. Made using soya beans, this great plant-based protein source is low in calories. Consumption of tofu is great for the gut, weight management, and reducing the risk of cancer. Tofu is also helpful in type 2 diabetes, bone health, and skin health.
Tofu is an easy and healthy alternative to paneer and can be used to make lip-smacking recipes.
Let us have a look at a compilation of an array of Tofu recipes that can easily become your family favourite.
