CANutrition Tip: Tofu is made from soybean curds. It is naturally gluten-free and low in calories. It contains no cholesterol and is an excellent source of iron, and calcium. It is an important source of protein, especially for vegans and vegetarians. It also contains isoflavones such as phytoestrogens.
