In the hot summer, a variety of cold dishes occupy our table.
As a food with both medicines, tofu has many functions such as replenishing qi and replenishing deficiency. Generally, the calcium content in 100 grams of tofu is 140 mg-160 mg. Tofu is a plant food that contains relatively high protein. It contains 8 essential amino acids that are essential to the human body. It also contains unsaturated fatty acids, lecithin, etc. that are lacking in animal foods. Therefore, eating tofu often can protect our liver, promote body metabolism, increase immunity and have detoxification effects.
The only shortcoming of tofu is that the soy protein it contains lacks an essential amino acid-alanine. Therefore, if eaten alone, the protein utilization rate is low. If it is combined with some other foods, the egg amino acids missing in soy protein can be replenished, so that the ratio of the entire amino acid tends to be balanced, and the human body can fully absorb and utilize the protein in tofu. The methionine content in eggs and meat proteins is high, and tofu should be mixed with such foods. If combined in this way, the utilization rate of protein in tofu can be improved.
