A vegetarian diet has been on your mind? What about taking it a step further and switching to a vegan diet? Veganism is a style of vegetarianism that forbids the use of dairy, eggs, meat, and other goods derived from animals.

Being vegan is now seen as more of a lifestyle choice than a diet. A vegan diet consists mostly of plants and products manufactured from plants, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and other plant-based meals. Besides these ingredients, there’s one ingredient that is loved by all and is also very versatile. Yes, we are talking about tofu.

Tofu is similar to its dairy equivalent, paneer, and is said to have originated in ancient China some 2000 years ago. It is commonly used in Asian cuisines and also other cuisines, including American, Mexican, Indian, and Mediterranean.

Tofu is quite popular among vegans who avoid or consume dairy products such as milk, cream, and eggs, as well as any product produced from animal/animal skin.

Many of us are thus left wondering how to meet our bodies' nutritional requirements in the absence of protein-rich dairy products, which brings us to the topic of how tofu is brimming with health advantages. Here, we'll discover more about its advantages.
