Tofu is a soybean curd product. soybeans are soaked, ground, and fil-
tered, with the remaining mixture being heated to 75°c and a coag-
ulant added, which results in the formation of the soy curd and
whey. the soy curd is pressed to separate it from the whey and then
washed and cooled. it is low in calories and saturated fats while high
in vitamins, minerals, and digestible protein. it is tasteless, but takes
on the flavors of the products with which it is cooked. uses include
frozen desserts and meat products.
