Tofu is a most forgotten alternative to many wholesome main courses that have meat as the main ingredient. It is a byproduct of the soybean and has many health benefits including lowering the risk of osteoporosis, cholesterol levels, anemia, and even cancer. Also, tofu is rich in many minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, copper, selenium, iron, manganese and calcium. It is pack full of vitamins such as vitamin B6, K, thiamine, folate and riboflavin.
