Tofu

Tofu was invented centuries ago by the Chinese. However, the name we use comes from the Japanese. It is what many consider a form of soymilk cheese. In the Far East, it has garnered much fame. Each nation and culture there gives it a name. In their respective languages, it sounds almost the same. It does not have much of a taste, but is high in protein. With nearly no fat, it is a nutritious source that is lean. Soymilk is mixed with salts like calcium sulfate. Whey is extracted from the curds that coagulate. Because it can be a suitable substitute for meat, tofu can make any vegetarian’s diet complete.

Yuck Tofu! I've had it before and it's really nasty. Even if it was fortified with great vegetarian vitamins and minerals, I cannot get myself to eat this stuff! You did well in displaying all about Tofu! I love your write Robert! Great Work!!
