Tofu and the Vegan Diet
Tofu is a plant-based protein made from soybeans. It is created by coagulating soy milk and pressing the resulting curds into solid white blocks of varying softness; it can be silken, soft, firm, or extra firm. Tofu is a staple in many Asian cuisines and is popular worldwide due to its high protein content and versatility in cooking. Its FODMAP content varies, with silken tofu being high in FODMAPs due to higher fructan and GOS levels, whereas firm tofu is low in FODMAPs as the whey (which contains these FODMAPs) is drained off during production.
