fermented tofu is a characteristic tradition that has been passed down from China for thousands of years. Folk food has a good taste and is highly nutritious. It tastes a special fragrance. It is deeply loved by the Chinese people and the people in Southeast Asia.
fermented tofu is usually divided into three categories: green formula , red formula and white formula. Among them, stinky tofu belongs to "green formula", "big chunks", "red spicy", "rose", etc. belong to "red formula". "Sweet and spicy", "Osmanthus", "Five Spicy" and other "white recipes".
The content of zinc and vitamin B in fermented tofu is very rich in . Eating it regularly can not only supplement vitamin B12 but also prevent Alzheimer's . The protein is twice that of tofu, and it is very easy to digest and absorb. It is called "Oriental Cheese".
Tofu fermented is rich in plant protein. After fermentation, 1 protein decomposes to various amino acids , which can be directly digested and absorbed, and produces yeast and other substances, so it can achieve the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, enhancing appetite, and aiding digestion.
However, there is still a lot of controversy about fermented tofu on the market. Some people say that fermented tofu contains a lot of salt. Eating fermented tofu frequently is not conducive to health, but some people say that eating fermented tofu appropriately can bring many benefits to the body.
Is fermented tofu a "delicious food on earth" or a "health killer"? Doctors reveal the truth
The main point of controversy over fermented tofu is that during the process of fermented tofu making, many people are considering whether aflatoxin will be produced.
Aflatoxin has been listed as a first-class carcinogen by WHO . It is one of the strongest chemical carcinogens known at present. Too much intake at one time may cause acute poisoning, and in severe cases, it may also cause liver cancer .
So will aflatoxin be produced during the process of making fermented tofu? Let’s first look at the process of making fermented tofu:
The raw materials of fermented tofu are actually made into soybeans and soybeans, and the finished tofu is inoculated with mucor or dried mold strains for fermentation. According to the variety and taste of fermented bean curd, finally put yeast or Aspergillus red , Aspergillus jic and other substances.
sealed and fermented, the various enzymes secreted by microorganism and various amino acids decomposed by proteins and unique flavors react to each other, and finally form the unique taste of fermented bean curd.
It is precisely because various mold are inoculated during the fermentation of tofu fermented fermentation, so many people think it will cause cancer? In fact, the molds used here are all beneficial . Edible fungi will not produce toxins, and these molds play the role of decomposing proteins and producing nutrients. Therefore, the entire production process of fermented tofu will not produce aflatoxins, nor will it cause cancer.
In fact, during the production process of other condiments we usually eat, they will first ferment with fungi, such as bean paste or fermented black bean paste. The fermentation process of is similar to fermented tofu, so everyone can eat it with confidence.
What benefits will eating fermented tofu appropriately bring to the body?
reduces cholesterol
soy products are rich in isoflavones , and they also contain unsaturated fatty acids. At the same time, they contain a large amount of protein and human body fat. protein and human body fat cannot be converted into cholesterol. Instead, it will inhibit the production of cholesterol and can also help eliminate cholesterol. Therefore, eating fermented tofu appropriately can reduce the cholesterol content in the body to a certain extent.
prevents anemia
Due to the effect of microorganisms, the content of vitamin B2 produced in fermented tofu is second only to dairy products, and is 6 to 7 times higher than tofu. People who often eat vegetarian food often eat fermented tofu. can prevent pernicious anemia, , and the content of vitamin B1 nic acid in fermented tofu is also higher than that in other foods. fermented tofu contains vitamin B12, which is not easy to find in plant foods.
Prevent Alzheimer's Dementia
Fermented tofu contains a large amount of nutrients, such as vitamin B and trace element zinc . Eating fermented tofu regularly can supplement the human body with sufficient vitamins, and can also reduce the risk of Alzheimer's Dementia.
stabilizes blood pressure
fermented tofu During the fermentation process, proteins will be converted into amino acids and polypeptide . Foreign countries have used the chemical decomposition of soy protein to produce health foods with lower blood pressure peptides. Experiments have found that fermented tofu contains high-active blood pressure peptide , and eating fermented tofu appropriately can help hypertension people stabilize blood pressure.
Although fermented tofu has high nutritional value, you should eat less
The production process of fermented tofu will add a large amount of edible salt. Generally, a 10-gram fermented tofu can contain up to about one gram of salt. For us healthy adults, the daily salt intake of should not exceed 6 grams.
According to relevant surveys, the daily edible salt intake of Chinese residents is about 12.6 grams, which is far beyond the specified range. Therefore, in addition to eating less edible salt, people should also pay attention to this invisible salt, such as fermented tofu.
If the intake cannot be controlled, excessive intake of salt can easily cause water and sodium to stay in , which can easily cause hypertension. If the hypertension is severe, it will increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and stomach diseases.
Soybeans themselves are also highly purine foods . Although soybeans will lose some purine during the process of being made into tofu, fermented tofu is relatively high in purine. Therefore, if you eat fermented tofu in large quantities, it may also cause hyperuricemia. For gout patients, you should eat less in daily life.
