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.
