People often say: It’s better to just find a piece of tofu and kill someone. So is there really a tofu that can kill someone?

Other people often say that they need to find a piece of tofu to kill someone, but in real life there is no tofu that can kill someone. This is just an exaggerated term.

Tofu is the most common soy product in people’s daily life, also known as water tofu. Legend has it that it was invented by Liu An, King of Huainan in the Han Dynasty. The main production process is pulping, that is, turning soybeans into soy milk; the second is condensation formation, that is, the soy milk solidifies into a gel containing a large amount of water, that is, tofu, under the combined action of heat and coagulant.

Tofu is the main raw material of Chinese vegetarian dishes. In the days of our ancestors, tofu was hard to swallow. After continuous transformation, it has gradually become popular among people and is known as "vegetable meat". Tofu can be produced all year round without seasonal restrictions. Therefore, the variety of dishes can be adjusted during the off-season of vegetable production.

Tofu is divided into northern and southern tofu. The main difference lies in the different materials of tofu. Southern tofu is made of gypsum, and solidified tofu is soft due to its high water content. Northern tofu is usually made from brine or pickled tofu.

Solid tofu contains less water and has an older texture than southern tofu. However, because it contains less water, tofu has a stronger flavor, firmer texture, and is easier to cook. Tofu is a traditional Chinese food. It tastes delicious and stays healthy.

Tofu is generally made from legumes with high protein content, such as soybeans, black beans and peanuts. As a food that people often cook, tofu often appears in the writings of literati. For example, Su Dongpo also wrote a poem praising tofu because he liked to eat it. In addition to tofu for cooking, we also often eat soy products such as soy milk and tofu curd, both of which are very delicious!

However, some people are not suitable for eating tofu, such as patients with gout and stomach cold, because some ingredients in tofu will make their condition worse.
