NoDoctor's answer:
The protein content of tofu and its products is higher than that of soybeans, and tofu protein is a complete protein. It contains all eight essential amino acids for the human body, and its ratio is close to the body's needs, making it highly nutritious. Tofu also contains fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, tofu has a sweet and cool flavor and enters the spleen, stomach, and large intestine meridians. It is believed to have the functions of invigorating qi, harmonizing the stomach, generating fluids, moisturizing dryness, clearing heat, and detoxifying. It can be used to treat conditions such as red eyes, diabetes, and detoxify from sulfur and strong alcohol.
However, while tofu is beneficial, consuming too much can also be harmful to health.
