Tofu has a muted flavor, that can be used in both sweet and savory recipes. Tofu is low in calories, and is a rich source of <b>protein</b>, <b>iron</b> and <b>calcium</b> (if the tofu was calcium-set).</p><p>Tofu is set using a variety of coagulants, like <b>gypsum (calcium sulfate)</b>, which produces tofu that is tender but brittle in texture, and <b>chloride-type nigari salts (magnesium chloride and calcium chloride)</b>, which produces tofu with a smooth and tender texture.</p><p>There are many types of processed tofu, including pickled tofu (<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinky_tofu' target='_blank'>stinky tofu</a>, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickled_tofu' target='_blank'>pickled tofu</a>) and frozen tofu (thousand-layer tofu, kori tofu). Tofu byproducts are also very popular, and this includes tofu skin (yuba) and soy pulp (okara).</p></div><ul><li><a href='shepherds_pie.html'>shepherds pie</a></li><li><a href='spicy_stirfry_chickpeas.html'>spicy stirfry chickpeas</a></li></ul><hr/></main><footer><a href='about.html'>Grimgrains</a> © 2014—2022 <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/' target='_blank'> BY-NC-SA-4.0</a><br><a href='http://100r.co/' target='_blank'>Hundred Rabbits</a></footer></body></html>
