April is National Soyfoods Month and we're pleased about that! Tofu features prominently in many of our menu items, like mapo tofu, shredded pork in hot sauce and black mushroom in tofu roll. It's a healthy substitute for meat and has been touted for decades as a source of nutrients, including protein, amino acids, calcium and fiber. Soy also contains phytochemicals that are beneficial to our health. The main difference between tofu and meat protein is that you have to eat more tofu to meet the recommended dietary protein levels.
In the charts below, you can compare the nutritional values between tofu and chicken.
