Tofu is the perfect item to cook in a batch whether it’s cubed and fried or cooked into a creamy sauce. Regardless of how busy your lifestyle is, with work, children or school you can still indulge in a flavourful dinner packed with nutrients such as omega 3, iron and calcium.
Soyganic Medium Tofu
Medium tofu has a softer texture and works very well in soups to add a creaminess or can actually be served cold if you’re going more traditional.
Ingredients: Water, Organic Soybeans (Non-GMO), Calcium Sulphate.
Soyganic Firm Tofu
Firm tofu is probably the most versatile as it soaks up flavour making it perfect for stir fries, but can also be crumbled and scrambled as an egg substitute.
Ingredients: Water, Organic Soybeans (Non-GMO), Calcium Sulphate.
Soyganic Extra Firm Tofu
If you’re in search of the ideal meat replacement, extra firm tofu is your best choice. It holds its shape extremely well, meaning it’s ideal for slicing, cubing and grilling.
Ingredients: Water, Organic Soybeans (Non-GMO), Magnesium Chloride, Calcium Sulphate.
Where does Tofu originate from?
Tofu seems like it took a lot of careful curation, but it actually was created by accident! Stories date back all the way to 600AD where it’s said a chef accidentally curdled a soybean soup by adding unrefined sea salt which contained traces of seaweed. This happy mistake has led us to a fundamental ingredient used often in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian cuisine.
What are the benefits of iron, calcium and omega 3?
Iron is vital to core body functions such as gastrointestinal processes and maintaining healthy function of your immune system. Iron is largely found in meat, which doesn’t help vegans or vegetarians! Therefore, plant-based sources of iron like tofu are excellent for reaching your daily recommended dose. Calcium maintains strong bones and aids vital organs such as your heart. Omega 3 is a fatty acid that is super beneficial in preventing cardiovascular disease as it prevents the platelets in your blood from clotting together.
