Tofu

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

to·fu ˈtō-(ˌ)fü : a soft food product prepared by treating soybean milk with coagulants (such as magnesium chloride or diluted acids) : bean curd. … tofu is our most versatile form of nonanimal concentrated protein, as well as the least processed and the most traditional.

The literal Japanese translation is of Tofu is “thick fermenting soybean milk”.

Any other definition should be treated as Hyperbole. Any questions reach out.

Tofu is a good source of protein. It's a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that the body needs. Tofu is also a versatile and relatively inexpensive source of plant-based protein, making it a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans.
My personal spongy tofu. Freezing tofu alters its texture, making it firmer, chewier, and more absorbent of marinades and sauces. This is due to the expansion of water as it freezes, creating air pockets that remain after thawing. This transformation can be beneficial for dishes where you want a meatier texture or crispy exterior.

A tofu kabob. Notice the open pores on the tofu. This is an example of spongy tofu

some Asians believed that eating tofu made your skin silky. I am a believer. My skin is silky smooth and flawless. I eat tofu

repost:

People say that tofu has no flavor, but it's all about how you cook / prepare it. It absorbs whatever sauce or seasoning you put on it. So it can be really good, depending on what one does with it of course. I eat tofu occasionally...not often. Every once in a while I make tofu scramble. And speaking of that...

I shared this on another thread (it's a video I made 5 years ago) but since the topic came up, I guess I'll share it again.

^^^^ Looks like we got us a soy boy.

That's the problem with tofu. It has a nice texture when prepared well, but it's soy. Soy, from what I understand encourages estrogen production in the male body.

No, tofu does not increase estrogen levels in males.

Tofu is a soy-based food that contains isoflavones, which are plant compounds with estrogen-like properties. However, studies have shown that isoflavones do not significantly increase estrogen levels in men. In fact, a meta-analysis of 41 studies concluded that there is no evidence that soy consumption affects testosterone or estrogen levels in men.

Therefore, consuming tofu is unlikely to increase estrogen levels in males. It is important to note that excessive consumption of soy products may have other health effects, so it is recommended to consume them in moderation.

Moderation

The key to everything.

That's simply false. In fact, if any guys are worried about estrogen, what they SHOULD be concerned about is actual (mammalian) estrogen, which is in dairy and other animal products.

I set this first video to start playing at the part where he talks about soy. The second video is about estrogen in animal products.

Tofu and tempeh have been mainstays in the diets of BILLIONS for thousands of years. It's a great protein source.

Your second video seems to explain what's happening to today's 20 something American males.

No it's not.

Tofu is a good source of protein.

So is steak.

I bet the work involved in the production of tofu makes it a net energy loss.
Shoot aminal, cut meat, cook. Simple!

No it's not.

While the Japanese word for tofu, tōfu (豆腐), is derived from the Chinese word dòufu (豆腐 or 荳腐) meaning "bean" (豆) + "curdled" or "fermented" (腐), the notion of "thick fermenting soybean milk" as a literal translation is also relevant based on the interpretation of the second character, fu (腐).

The word "literal" means something.

Can you make your own tofu?

It's a pain in the ass.

Has anyone ever shot a big block of tofu with a rifle? I bet it would make one hell of a splatter.

I'll have to get some and try it.

you are doing it wrong

No, it's a pain in the ass. 12 hour commitment at a minimum.

your ass should never be involved in making tofu
