What is tofu?
Tofu or bean curd is a popular food derived from soya. It is made by curdling fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it, in much the same way that traditional dairy cheese is made by curdling and solidifying milk. Tofu is a little sweet with a slightly nutty taste.
