Why do rural people like pickled tofu?

Why do rural people like to eat soaked tofu? Radish and vegetables have their own tastes. Some people like meat, while others like vegetarian dishes. Although tofu is also a traditional food in China, it can't be the main course. Rural people like pickled tofu. In addition to salted tofu, it should also be pickled at low cost and convenient to eat.

Tofu is cheap and delicious. In the past, people's living standards were not as high as they are now. Some families could not afford fresh vegetables and meat, especially in winter, when vegetables were scarce and expensive, families were reluctant to buy them. In autumn, they would buy a lot of vegetables. At this time, the price is low and there are many styles. After buying tofu, it will be dried or pickled for the winter.

Now that the economic conditions are good and the production technology of crops is improved, especially the production of out-of-season vegetables, people basically don't have to worry about not eating fresh vegetables in winter, although most areas don't need pickled tofu to ensure their food and clothing, and they don't need a lot of pickled tofu to occasionally taste bad. But farmers will habitually pickle some tofu before winter. Why? Because of habit! Because it is convenient! Because it is delicious!

Of course, everyone knows that salt is the first of all flavors, and salted tofu is very salty. The more you eat, the more you like it. Especially for the elderly who eat salted tofu all the year round, pickles are indispensable in their diet. However, eating too much pickles is not a good thing. Some people eat pickles for a long time, their blood pressure keeps rising, and they are prone to diseases such as hypertension and cerebral hemorrhage. Moreover, the content of nitrite in kimchi is high, and excessive intake of nitrite will lead to poisoning and seriously endanger people's physical and mental health. Of course, long-term consumption of kimchi will also increase the risk of cancer.
